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. > > Pull request on Github: https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/548 > > > > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
