> Avoid intermediate java.lang.String when casting integral and boolean values

> Key: SPARK-59557
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-59557
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 4.1.0
> Reporter: David Mollitor
> Priority: Minor

> h2. Summary
> Casting an integral (byte/short/int/long) or boolean value to string
> currently routes through {{{}java.lang.String{}}}, allocating several
> throwaway objects per row. Both the interpreted and codegen cast paths in
> {{ToStringBase}} emit {{UTF8String.fromString(String.valueOf(x))}} (codegen)
> / {{UTF8String.fromString(x.toString)}} (interpreted).
> {{UTF8String.fromString(String)}} then does
> {{{}str.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8){}}}, so a single \{{CAST(<long> AS
> STRING) }}allocates:
> * a {{java.lang.String}} (from {{{}Long.toString{}}}),
> * that String's backing {{{}byte[]{}}},
> * a re-encoded UTF-8 {{byte[]}} (from {{{}getBytes{}}}), and
> * the result {{{}UTF8String{}}}.
> Only the last two are essential. {{CAST(<integral> AS STRING)}} is a very
> common expression (key building, string concatenation, display), so the
> redundant {{java.lang.String}} round-trip is broad, avoidable per-row
> overhead.
