Reducing Stages

Reducing stages operate on the entire set of results at once, unlike expanding stages which operate on each row individually from the previous stage's results. A good example of a reducing stage would be the sort command, which will operate on the entire set of results from the previous stage and transform it into a sorted set of results.

Generally, commands that modify data, such as the sort command or the table command, are reducing commands that will execute as reducing stages when run.
