Description

Serialize the generic row (not the default object serde, but a custom one).
Use a PinotDataBuffer to store those off-heap
Sort the rows in the buffer

Implementation will be similar to OffHeapSingleTreeBuilder’s sortAndAggregateSegmentRecords method.

Research direction

Locate SegmentReducer and OffHeapSingleTreeBuilder, then read OffHeapSingleTreeBuilder’s sortAndAggregateSegmentRecords method first. Trace how generic rows are serialized and stored in a PinotDataBuffer, and consider the work complete when SegmentReducer.reduce() uses that off-heap path with custom serialization and sorted rows.
