             Summary: Vectorization: Varchar() -> String should not copy 
underlying buffers
                 Key: HIVE-14454
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14454
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Vectorization
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Gopal V


The base byte[] array for a ByteColumnVector is immutable - all changes are 
made to a scratch column.

{code}
  @Override
  protected void func(BytesColumnVector outV, byte[][] vector, int[] start, 
int[] length, int i) {
    outV.setVal(i, vector[i], start[i], length[i]);
  }
{code}

the setVal copies the byte[] array, losing dictionary encoding in the process.
