It specifies that there are not enough temporary space available for sorting.
Increase your disk space used in sorting.

Also try to increase the size or point to another bigger disk of scratchdisk specified in configuration file.

You don't overcome it. You prevent it.

Make sure that the scratch disk mentioned in your configuration file has more than enough space. If not, add more scratch disk (on other file systems!) to each processing node.

Check with the input file size. Try to give atlest twice as large as that, if you have only one sort stage(that is where the current abort is in) in the job. Bear in mind that, the stages like, lookup, sort, remove duplicate, aggregator will use the scratch sapce. So more you of these staeg utilization, will lead to more memory shortage.
