balanced k-way merge sort

A merge sort that sorts a data stream using repeated merges. It distributes the input into k streams by repeatedly reading a block of input that fits in memory, called a run, sorting it, then writing it to the next stream. It then repeatedly merges the k streams and puts each merged run into one of j output streams until there is a single sorted output.
