Description:
It seems like the default values for myisam_max{_extra,}_sort_file_size are good only for toy databases.

The defaults for these should be much larger (e.g., 100G).

If someone is limited on disk space, maybe even 2G is too big - they should change the parameter as appropriate.  But for the vast majority of users, a much larger default would be good.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
