Description
In QueryIterSort, the sorting of the contents of an Iterator<Binding> is done in memory, using Arrays.sort. This can be problematic where the set to be sorted is large. A possible solution could be to use an external, disk-backed algorithm. A hybrid approach may be better, whereby we attempt the in-memory sort, but when the number of bindings encountered goes over a certain number, resort to the disk-backed variant.
