    @davies @JoshRosen I have one question for expression in general, since all 
of the intermediate objects are immutable in expression evaluation, we have to 
keep creating new object like `UTF8String` instances for every iteration. 
Probably it causes big overhead in a deep expression tree. Will that be 
possible to make the mutable object instead? Just like the 
`org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable`, so we can reuse the intermediate object.
