19 Group Groups all (key, value) pairs with the same key Use radix sort instead of conventional merge sort Radix sort sorts strings of bytes and can not use a user-defined comparator for sorting If radix sort does not sort native application type, sort the output using a user-specified compare function Conventional sorting algorithms have complexity O(nlogn).
