Review comment:
       @cloud-fan - sorry, I overlooked your question, you are asking how 
size-based fallback works.
   
   Size-based fallback works as:
   1. try to insert into 1st level hash map, and fallback to 2nd level hash map 
when no space in the required memory page (`RowBasedKeyValueBatch `) - 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/execution/aggregate/RowBasedHashMapGenerator.scala#L165-L166
 .
   2. try to insert into 2nd level hash map, and fallback to sort-based when no 
space in `UnsafeFixedWidthAggregationMap` - 
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/java/org/apache/spark/sql/execution/UnsafeFixedWidthAggregationMap.java#L148-L150
 .
   3. the 2nd level hash map will be sorted and spilled and another new 2nd 
level hash map will be created. The 1st level hash map cannot be spilled.
