------------------------------------

             Summary: Parquet reader creates unnecessary objects when checking for nullability in var length columns
                 Key: DRILL-5240
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5240
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Storage - Parquet
            Reporter: Parth Chandra
            Assignee: Parth Chandra


In {{NullableVarLengthValuesColumn.java}} we have the following line of code:
{code}
currentValNull = variableWidthVector.getAccessor().getObject(valuesReadInCurrentPass) == null;
{code}
which creates an object to check nullability of every (nullable var char) value being read. This object creation is expensive and can be replaced with a simple check for the null bit.
