Purpose
Non-identity sorted indexes, such as multivalue indexes, normalize one source value into multiple index keys. The normalized-key path used
keyBybefore the heap-and-spill sorter. Replacing it with a custom partitioner avoids Flink inserting a redundant managed-memory sorter, but a pipelined exchange can require the reader and sorter stages to acquire slots concurrently. A constrained batch deployment may then make no progress once the upstream network buffers fill.Changes
keyBy.StreamExchangeMode.BATCH, matching the deadlock-breaking approach used by range shuffle.BTree and scalar bitmap indexes use the identity/global-sort path and are unaffected.
