> The ORC scanners uses an external library to read ORC files. The library 
> reads the file contents into its own memory representation. It is a 
> vectorized representation similar to the Arrow format.
> Impala needs to convert the ORC row batch to an Impala row batch. Currently 
> the conversion happens row-wise via virtual function calls:

> [https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/85425b81f04c856d7d5ec375242303f78ec7964e/be/src/exec/orc-column-readers.cc#L352]
> Instead of this approach it could work similarly to the Parquet scanner that 
> fills the columns one-by-one into a scratch batch, then evaluate the 
> conjuncts on the scratch batch. For more details see 
> HdfsParquetScanner::AssembleRows():

> This way we'll need a lot less virtual function calls, also the memory 
> reads/writes will be much more localized and predictable.
