Difference Between Link Sort and Explicit Sort Stage

Post by saikir »

Hi All,

Both the Link Sort and Explicit Sort stage use the same "tsort operator", with an explicit Sort stage having more functionality. However, i have heard that in case of a link sort once the memory exceeds 20 MB, it dribbles to scratch. Where as a Sort Stage doesn't. Is this true?

Regards,
Sai
