Review Comment:
I think among other things, the intermediate state management (creating
ListArrays directly rather than from ScalarValue) probably helps a lot:
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/6c9355d5be8b6045865fed67cb6d028b2dfc2e06/datafusion/functions-aggregate/src/median.rs#L200-L199
There is also an extra allocation per group when using the groups
accumulator adapter thingie
That being said, it is a fair question how much better the existing
MedianAccumulator could be if it built the ListArrays as does this PR directly
🤔
