Description

This feature will make it possible to sort the output which is sent to an OutputFormat to obtain a locally sorted result.

This feature was available in the "old" Java API and has not be ported to the new Java API yet. Hence optimizer and runtime should already have support for this feature. However, the API and job generation part is missing.

It is also a subfeature of FLINK-598 which will provide also globally sorted results.
