             Summary: Support top-N sort for Spark SQL window function
                 Key: SPARK-32947
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32947
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
            Reporter: Zikun


In Spark SQL, there are two types of sort execution, *_SortExec_* and 
*_TakeOrderedAndProjectExec_* . *_SortExec_* is a general sorting execution and 
it does not support top-N sort. ​*_TakeOrderedAndProjectExec_* is the execution 
for top-N sort in Spark. Spark SQL rank window function needs to sort the data 
locally and it relies on the execution plan *_SortExec_* to sort the data in 
each physical data partition. When the filter of the window rank (e.g. rank <= 
100) is specified in a user's query, the filter can actually be pushed down to 
the SortExec and then we let SortExec operates top-N sort. Right now SortExec 
does not support top-N sort and we need to extend the capability of SortExec to 
support top-N sort.
