> Consider the concept of a "record batch" in Drill. On the one hand, one can envision a record batch as a stack of records:
> {code}
> | a1 | b1 | c1 |
> ----------------
> | a2 | b2 | c2 |
> {code}
> But, Drill is columnar. So a record batch is really a "bundle" of vectors:
> {code}
> | a1 |    | b1 |    | c1 |
> | a2 |    | b2 |    | c2 |
> {code}
> There are times when it is handy to build up a record batch as a merge of two different vector bundles:
> {code}
> -- bundle 1 --    -- bundle 2 --
> | a1 |    | b1 |        | c1 |
> | a2 |    | b2 |        | c2 |
> {code}
> For example, consider a reader. The reader implementation might read columns (a, b) from a file, say. Then, the "{{ScanBatch}}" might add (c) as an implicit vector (the file name, say.) The merged set of vectors comprises the final schema: (a, b, c).
> This ticket asks for the code to do the merge:
> * Merge two schemas A = (a, b), B = (c) to create schema C = (a, b, c).
> * Merge two vector containers C1 and C2 to create a new container, C3, that holds the merger of the vectors from the first two.
> Clearly, the merge only makes sense if:
> * The two input containers have the same row count, and
> * The columns in each input container are distinct.
> Because this feature is also useful for tests, add the merge to the "row set" tools also.
