> In `UnsafeInMemorySorter`, one record may take 32 bytes: 1 `long` for pointer, 1 `long` for key-prefix, and another 2 `long`s as the temporary buffer for radix sort.
> In `UnsafeExternalSorter`, we set the `DEFAULT_NUM_ELEMENTS_FOR_SPILL_THRESHOLD` to be `1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 2`, and hoping the max size of point array to be 8 GB. However this is wrong, `1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 2 * 32` is actually 16 GB, and if we grow the point array before reach this limitation, we may hit the max-page-size error.
> Users may see exception like this on large dataset:
