autumnust opened a new pull request #651:
URL: https://github.com/apache/orc/pull/651


   This PR: 
   - Add a straightforward implementation for `Dictionary` using hash table. 
   - Refactored RB-Tree to make code reusable, like `VisitorContextImpl`. 
Moving it into `DictionaryUtils.java` to make is sharable between different 
implementation of `Dictionary` interface. 
   - Enabling hash-based dictionary for existing tests that enables 
dictionary-encoding.

   <!--

     1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
     2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.

   We find RB-Tree based dictionary implementation being slow in our production 
workload. The performance comparison for the new hash-table based 
implementation will be done as part of ORC-50. 
   
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   <!--
   If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some 
test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive 
cases if possible.
   If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify 
how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other 
reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future.
   If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why 
it was difficult to add.

   Mostly tested with added unit tests for hash-table and enabled hash-table 
based dictionary in some of the existing tests.
