Description

Currently, when sorting data in a partition, and during merging the sorted run files, the system throws an exception if one of the run files has a huge tuple. The reason is that such a huge tuple will take almost the entire budget allocated for sorting. For such cases, allow exceeding the budget in order to sort the data.
