Because of the high volume and unpredictable arrival rate, stream processing systems may not always be able to keep up with the input data streams-- resulting in buffer overflow a...
External sorting--the process of sorting a file that is too large to fit into the computer's internal memory and must be stored externally on disks--is a fundamental subroutin...
