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

> 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.
