   I made a quick fix to allow that in early versions of this patch. Then I 
decided to not pursue it because I did not see the need for allowing constant 
argument in runtime.

   We do exactly that. Not in vectorizer but earlier in 
`ColumnStatsSemanticAnalyzer.java `. I am reluctant to implement extra 
functionality or add special cases unless it is necessary. Note that 
compute_bit_vector is a newly added UDF in 4.0. So there is no backward 
compatibility concern either.
   Do you see any other benefit than preserving the earlier q.out outputs?
