      See public comment left immediately after the link to the git commit.

      Description of Linked Ticket

      Right now when query results must be sorted before being returned, a top-N sort is performed in memory with a memory footprint cap enforced. The goal for this ticket is move to external sorting if too much memory is required, see discussion in SERVER-4716.

      Scope of changes

      • Document allowDiskUse parameter for find database command
      • Document allowDiskUse() cursor method for db.collection.find()
      • Document increase non-index sort memory cap (32MB -> 100MB)

      Impact to Other Docs

      • Drivers may need to either link to allowDiskUse or update their docs to reference support for the new option
