Review Comment:
   @dengzhhu653 The short answer is no.
   
   `ArrayList#clear` takes `O({the number of elements, not capacity})`. 
Actually, I don't reproduce the same issue with `COLLECT_LIST` at least in our 
environment. This is a dummy code to illustrate the behavior of 
`ArrayList#clear`. Even if the length of `elementsContainer` is 1 million, it 
only updates the first `ArrayList#size`.
   
   ```
   // elementsContainer is Object[] with its length enlarged based on the 
maximum ArrayList#size so far
   // Note that this.size is ArrayList#size, not the length of elementsContainer
   for (int i = 0; i < this.size; i++) {
     elementsContainer[i] = null;
   }
   ```
   
   In case of HashMap, the complexity depends on its capacity. That's because 
`clear` doesn't know which indexes have values because of hash table's nature.
   
   ```
   // table is Node[] with its length enlarged based on the maximum 
HashMap#size so far
   // Note that table.length is not HashMap#size
   for (int i = 0; i < table.length; i++) {
     table[i] = null;
   }
   ```

> I observed some reducers spend 98% of CPU time in invoking 
> `java.util.HashMap#clear`.
> Looking the detail, I found COLLECT_SET reuses a LinkedHashSet and its 
> `clear` can be quite heavy when a relation has a small number of highly 
> skewed keys.
>  
> To reproduce the issue, first, we will create rows with a skewed key.
> {code:java}
> INSERT INTO test_collect_set
> SELECT '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' AS key, CAST(UUID() AS VARCHAR) 
> AS value
> FROM table_with_many_rows
> LIMIT 100000;{code}
> Then, we will create many non-skewed rows.
> {code:java}
> INSERT INTO test_collect_set
> SELECT UUID() AS key, UUID() AS value
> FROM table_with_many_rows
> LIMIT 5000000;{code}
> We can observe the issue when we aggregate values by `key`.
> {code:java}
> SELECT key, COLLECT_SET(value) FROM group_by_skew GROUP BY key{code}
