ZhangXin updated HIVE-21313: ---------------------------- Description: 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.
