   `SortPreservingMergeStreamExec` now works as follows since 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/3386
   * Converting rows to row-format (which involves copying / converting the 
datasets to some byte format)
   * Comparing the sorted partitions/streams against each other (via 
`Compare`), choosing the smallest/biggest row 
   
   I think for single column sorts (like this query), we  should be able to 
avoid converting to `Row` and comparing the (primitive) values instead, which 
should speedup single column sorts as it avoids the conversion step and will 
allow comparing the primitive values.
   
   `SortExec` uses single-column sort already.
