Jacques Nadeau commented on DRILL-4573:
---------------------------------------
When we started working on functions, immutability wasn't a constraint so we
may have a few functions around that don't follow this rule. The goal is go
back and correct those but make sure we don't add any new mutations.
> Zero copy LIKE, REGEXP_MATCHES, SUBSTR

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4573
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: jean-claude
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.7.0

> Attachments: DRILL-4573-3.patch.txt, DRILL-4573.patch.txt

>
> All the functions using the java.util.regex.Matcher are currently creating
> Java string objects to pass into the matcher.reset().
> However this creates unnecessary copy of the bytes and a Java string object.
> The matcher uses a CharSequence, so instead of making a copy we can create an
> adapter from the DrillBuffer to the CharSequence interface.
> Gains of 25% in execution speed are possible when going over VARCHAR of 36
> chars. The gain will be proportional to the size of the VARCHAR.
