Review comment:
       One of the problems described in the Jira issue were that, to combat the OOM issues, spilling to disk when sorting was required. Because of a few hot-keys with lots of values and that worker VMs are homogeneous, the disk requirements across all the workers increased, but that resulted in poor disk utilization overall.  Are the increased disk requirements because the records spilled to disk for sorting are essentially duplicates of those being read from the GroupByKey? It seems like this is how the SortValues implementation works.
   
   Could you explain how the disk requirements here are reduced? My best guess is that because partial sorting is done before the GroupByKey (i.e. a lifted combiner performing a partial GroupByKey and combine), there is no longer a need to spill to disk when sorting in the post-GroupByKey combine because they're already sorted on disk, ready for merge sorting.

Review comment:
       This coder eagerly decodes the entire value set for a single SortingAccumulator. During execution, there will be multiple of these in memory, in preparation for `mergeAccumulators` being called repeatedly until there is a single SortingAccumulator left and all values are in memory.
   
   Could you explain how this helps avoid the problems you described in the Jira issue? They were described as OOMs resulting from too many elements in memory when using SortValues, which I think would still happen here.
