> The DataSet API {{DataSink}} offers a method {{sortLocalOutput()}} to sort the output before it is handed to the {{OutputFormat}}.
> I propose to deprecate (and eventually remove) this method, because the same functionality can be achieved by using {{DataSet.sortPartition()}}. {{sortPartition()}} is more generic and has no drawbacks compared to {{sortLocalOutput()}}. Removing {{sortLocalOutput()}} would clean up the API and remove unnecessary code paths.
