> DRILL-5266 describes how Parquet produces low-density record batches. The result of these batches is that the external sort spills more frequently than it should because it sizes spill files based on batch size, not data content of the batch. Since Parquet batches are 95% empty space, the spill files end up far too small.
> Adjust the spill calculations based on actual data content, not the size of the overall record batch.
