Hi everyone,
I have the following use case: I’m benchmarking the read throughput performance when dealing with a large number of non-dictionary string columns (300 columns). Based on the profiler output (see the attached picture), I’ve noticed that a significant amount of time is spent in the fillHoles() method, which is part of the read buffer expansion process.
My question is: why is the buffer filled one element at a time instead of using a bulk operation? Wouldn’t a batch approach be more efficient?
Looking forward to your insights. Thanks!
