Song Jun updated SPARK-20960:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
_emphasized text_ColumnVector is an internal interface in Spark SQL, which is 
only used for vectorized parquet reader to represent the in-memory columnar 
format.

In Spark 2.3 we want to make ColumnVector public, so that we can provide a more 
efficient way for data exchanges between Spark and external systems. For 
example, we can use ColumnVector to build the columnar read API in data source 
framework, we can use ColumnVector to build a more efficient UDF API, etc.

We also want to introduce a new ColumnVector implementation based on Apache 
Arrow(basically just a wrapper over Arrow), so that external systems(like 
Python Pandas DataFrame) can build ColumnVector very easily.
