Use Cases for Hadoop's New Pluggable Sort

What is the big deal about Sort? Sort is fundamental to the MapReduce framework, the data is sorted between the Map and Reduce phases (see below). Syncsort's contribution allows native Hadoop sort to be replaced by an alternative sort implementation, for both Map and Reduce sides, i.e. it makes Sort phase pluggable.
