Add a new type: Object. Currently, it's mainly for complex aggregate metrics(HLL , Bitmap).
The Object type has the following constraints:
1 Object type could not as key column type
2 Object type doesn't support all indices (BloomFilter, short key, zone map, invert index)
3 Object type doesn't support filter and group by
In the implementation:
The Object type reuse the StringValue and StringVal, because in storage engine, the Object type is binary, it has a pointer and length.
NOTE: This patch would modify all Backend's data.
And this will cause a very long time to restart be.
So if you want to interferer your product environment,
you should upgrade backend one by one.
1. Refactoring be is to clarify the structure the codes.
2. Use unique id to indicate a rowset.
Nameing rowset with tablet_id and version will lead to
many conflicts among compaction, clone, restore.
3. Extract an rowset interface to encapsulate rowsets
with different format.
Before RowBlock will reserve memory for all columns in schema, even if
it is not queried. Which will cause bad performance when quering wide
table.
In this patch, RowBlock will reserve memory for needed columns. In a
case, this reduce ConvertBatchTime from 10s to 60ms when quering a wide
table who has 178 columns.
