> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: sql-exe
> Affects Versions: 2.1-incubating
> Reporter: Prashanth Vasudev
> Assignee: Prashanth Vasudev
>
> Sort operator consumes all records before producing sorted records. For
> certain use cases where only Top N records are required, today sort consumes
> all records into memory and overflows( spills ) to disk. This impacts
> performance.
> if topN is pushed down to sort, only required memory can be allocated and
> sort would only hold topN records in memory. Once all the records are read,
> sorted records in topN is returned.
