ExternalRefSorter, InMemorySorter
```
public interface BytesRefSorter
```
Collects BytesRef and then allows one to iterate over their sorted order. Implementations of this interface will be called in a single-threaded scenario.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`add(BytesRef utf8)`	Adds a single suggestion entry (possibly compound with its bucket).
`Comparator<BytesRef>`	`getComparator()`	Comparator used to determine the sort order of entries.
`BytesRefIterator`	`iterator()`	Sorts the entries added in `add(BytesRef)` and returns an iterator over all sorted entries.
