ZhangXin updated HIVE-21313:
----------------------------
Summary: Use faster function to point to instead of copy the immutable byte
array (was: Use faster function to prevent copying immutable byte array twice)

> In file ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/vector/VectorAssignRow.java
> We may find code like this:
> ```
> Text text = (Text) convertTargetWritable;
> if (text == null)
> { text = new Text(); }
> text.set(string);
> ((BytesColumnVector) columnVector).setVal(
> batchIndex, text.getBytes(), 0, text.getLength());
> ```
>
> Using `setVal` method can copy the bytes array generated by
> `text.getBytes()`. This is totally unnecessary at all. Since the bytes array
> is immutable, we can just use `setRef` method to point to the specific byte
> array, which will also lower the memory usage.
