[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-9632) Replace our TimSort with JDK TimSort

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9632?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17270574#comment-17270574 ] 

David Smiley commented on LUCENE-9632:
--------------------------------------

Last I saw, we have these sort implementations but not enough javadocs on the circumstances in which they are best used (or not used), and furthermore why we even have them at all (relative to JDK impls).

> JDK 11 has a TimSort with very similar lineage to our TimSort (written by Josh Bloch, based on Tim Peter's python list sort), we should consider replacing our fork with a version that we don't have to maintain.
