Aaron Davidson commented on SPARK-983: -------------------------------------- This JIRA is pretty vague. We've already implemented an external hashing based solution for groupBys. We do not have a solution in the works for sorting, either for groupBys or RDD.sort(). We have deprioritized the former, since we have the hashing solution, but we don't have any way to do sort(), so that would be an excellent feature to have. Given what's been marked as a duplicate of this JIRA, let me update this one to just refer to supporting external RDD.sort(). I will also unassign it, as I am not currently working on this -- let me know if you'd like me to assign it to you. > External hashing & sorting support > ---------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-983 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-983 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.9.0 > Reporter: Reynold Xin > Assignee: Aaron Davidson > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
