What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Each columnar decompressor repeats the same two-line idiom to build the "nulls buffer" it reads null-tracking state from:
This adds a
createNullsBuffer(buffer: ByteBuffer)helper to theCompressionSchemecompanion object (alongside the existingcolumnHeaderSizehelper) and routes the six call sites through it (PassThrough,RunLengthEncoding,DictionaryEncoding,BooleanBitSet,IntDelta,LongDelta). The subsequentnullCount/nextNullIndexreads stay inline, since thenextNullIndexsentinel legitimately differs (-1, andcapacityforPassThrough).Why are the changes needed?
The idiom was duplicated across all six decoders. Naming it once removes the duplication and gives a single home for the "duplicate, set native order, rewind" convention. It also normalizes the
LongDeltasite, which calledrewindwithout parentheses.Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Existing columnar compression tests.
createNullsBufferreturns exactly the previously-inlined expression, so decompression behavior is unchanged.Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
