// order1007 merges a set of per-P event batches into a single, consistent stream.
// The high level idea is as follows. Events within an individual batch are in
// correct order, because they are emitted by a single P. So we need to produce
// a correct interleaving of the batches. To do this we take first unmerged event
// from each batch (frontier). Then choose subset that is "ready" to be merged,
// that is, events for which all dependencies are already merged. Then we choose
// event with the lowest timestamp from the subset, merge it and repeat.
// This approach ensures that we form a consistent stream even if timestamps are
// incorrect (condition observed on some machines).
