tournament

An implementation of a k-way merge iterator using a binary heap. The k-way merge iterator is very useful when given k sets of sorted data, you want to find the n top elements in between the sets in an efficient way, without sorting the entire data set.

Imagine having dozens of slices with hundreds of elements, where you only care about the top 10.

use tournament::Tournament;

let t = Tournament::from_iters_min([(1..2000), (1..20000), (1..5000000)]);
assert_eq!(t.take(5).collect::<Vec<_>>(), [1, 1, 1, 2, 2]);
