   ```
       private void setIsRepeatingIfNeeded(DecimalColumnVector result, int 
index) {
         if (result.isRepeating && index > 0 && 
(!result.vector[0].equals(result.vector[index]) ||
             result.isNull[0] != result.isNull[index])) {
           result.isRepeating = false;
         }
       }
   ```
   
   `result.vector[0].equals(result.vector[index])`  We cannot directly perform 
this check because:
   
   ```
   public DecimalColumnVector(int size, int precision, int scale) {
     super(Type.DECIMAL, size);
     this.precision = (short) precision;
     this.scale = (short) scale;
     vector = new HiveDecimalWritable[size];
     for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
       vector[i] = new HiveDecimalWritable(0);  // Initially zero.
     }
   }
   ```
   
   The initial value `new HiveDecimalWritable(0)` will be used, and we can only 
use `result.vector[0]` for comparison after ensuring `result.isNull[0] == 
false`.
