The reason is a bit different. The original call allocates a managed
buffer: it is freed only when the fragment context shuts down at the end of
query execution. But, if we read many files (5000 in one test case), then we
leave 5000 buffers in existence for the whole query.
Instead, we want to take control over buffer lifetime. We allocate a
regular (not managed) buffer ourselves, and then release it when this reader
closes.
That way, instead of accumulating 5000 buffers of 1 MB each, we have only
one 1 MB buffer in existence at any one time.
Of course, a further refinement would be to allocate the buffer on the
ScanBatch and have all 5000 readers sequentially share that same buffer. But, I
was not sure that any performance benefit was worth the cost in extra code
complexity...
