Thanks, Parth! Will make another commit to address small issues that
Karthik pointed out. Let's hold off the actual commit until Drill 1.12 ships.
I'll then commit the changes when we open things up again for Drill 1.13
changes.
> Implement size-aware result set loader
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-5657
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5657
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: Future
> Reporter: Paul Rogers
> Assignee: Paul Rogers
> Fix For: Future
>
>
> A recent extension to Drill's set of test tools created a "row set"
> abstraction to allow us to create, and verify, record batches with very few
> lines of code. Part of this work involved creating a set of "column
> accessors" in the vector subsystem. Column readers provide a uniform API to
> obtain data from columns (vectors), while column writers provide a uniform
> writing interface.
> DRILL-5211 discusses a set of changes to limit value vectors to 16 MB in size
> (to avoid memory fragmentation due to Drill's two memory allocators.) The
> column accessors have proven to be so useful that they will be the basis for
> the new, size-aware writers used by Drill's record readers.
> A step in that direction is to retrofit the column writers to use the
> size-aware {{setScalar()}} and {{setArray()}} methods introduced in
> DRILL-5517.
> Since the test framework row set classes are (at present) the only consumer
> of the accessors, those classes must also be updated with the changes.
> This then allows us to add a new "row mutator" class that handles size-aware
> vector writing, including the case in which a vector fills in the middle of a
> row.
