## Problem Summary:

### 1. Some code from clickhouse

**ClickHouse is an excellent implementation of the vectorized execution engine database,
so here we have referenced and learned a lot from its excellent implementation in terms of
data structure and function implementation.
We are based on ClickHouse v19.16.2.2 and would like to thank the ClickHouse community and developers.**

The following comment has been added to the code from Clickhouse, eg:
// This file is copied from
// https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/master/src/Interpreters/AggregationCommon.h
// and modified by Doris

### 2. Support exec node and query:
* vaggregation_node
* vanalytic_eval_node
* vassert_num_rows_node
* vblocking_join_node
* vcross_join_node
* vempty_set_node
* ves_http_scan_node
* vexcept_node
* vexchange_node
* vintersect_node
* vmysql_scan_node
* vodbc_scan_node
* volap_scan_node
* vrepeat_node
* vschema_scan_node
* vselect_node
* vset_operation_node
* vsort_node
* vunion_node
* vhash_join_node

You can run exec engine of SSB/TPCH and 70% TPCDS stand query test set.

### 3. Data Model

Vec Exec Engine Support **Dup/Agg/Unq** table, Support Block Reader Vectorized.
Segment Vec is working in process.

### 4. How to use

1. Set the environment variable `set enable_vectorized_engine = true; `(required)
2. Set the environment variable `set batch_size = 4096; ` (recommended)

### 5. Some diff from origin exec engine
