-/**
- * @author pouria
- * 
- *         This class defines the code for the merger, which is used to merge
- *         the runs, generated previously through an implementation of
- *         IRunGenerator, for sorting with replacement selection.
- * 
- *         If number of input runs is less than the available memory frames,
- *         then merging can be done in one pass, by allocating one buffer per
- *         run, and one buffer as the output buffer. A priorityQueue is used to
- *         find the top tuple at each iteration, among all the runs' heads in
- *         memory (check RunMergingFrameReader for more details). Otherwise,
- *         assuming that we have R runs and M memory buffers, where (R > M), we
- *         first merge first (M-1) runs and create a new sorted run, out of
- *         them. Discarding the first (M-1) runs, now merging procedure gets
- *         applied recursively on the (R-M+2) remaining runs using the M memory
- *         buffers.
- * 
- *         Merging also takes the outputLimit, if specified, into account during
- *         merging. Once the final pass is done on the runs (which is the pass
- *         that generates the final sorted output), as soon as the output size
- *         hits the output limit, the process stops, closes, and returns.
