What are the best algorithms for sorting large datasets in production?
I'm working on a data processing pipeline that handles millions of records daily. Currently using quicksort, but I'm wondering if there are better alternatives for production environments. Current Setup: Dataset size: 2-5 million records Memory constraints: 8GB available Performance requirement: Data type: Mixed (strings, numbers, dates) I've considered merge sort for stability, but the memory overhead concerns me. Any production experience with this?
