> The {{ExternalSortBatch}} (ESB) operator sorts records, spilling to disk as needed to operate within a defined memory budget.
> When needed, ESB spills accumulated record batches to disk. However, when doing so, the ESB carves off the first spillable batch and holds it in memory:
> {code}
>     // 1 output container is kept in memory, so we want to hold on to it and transferClone
>     // allows keeping ownership
>     VectorContainer c1 = VectorContainer.getTransferClone(outputContainer, oContext);
>     c1.buildSchema(BatchSchema.SelectionVectorMode.NONE);
>     c1.setRecordCount(count);
> ...
>     BatchGroup newGroup = new BatchGroup(c1, fs, outputFile, oContext);
> {code}
> When the spill batch size gets larger (to fix DRILL-5022), the result is that nothing is spilled as the first spillable batch is simply stored back into memory on the (supposedly) spilled batches list.
> The desired behavior is for all spillable batches to be written to disk. If the first batch is held back to work around some issue (to keep a schema, say?), then fine a different solution that allows the actual data to spill.
