[GitHub] incubator-quickstep pull request #277: Fix a bug with min/max aggregation.

GitHub user jianqiao opened a pull request:

    Fix a bug with min/max aggregation.

    This PR fixes the bug with min/max aggregation (that produces incorrect results) when the aggregated column is stored with **leading-zero-truncation compression**.
    
    The bug happens because the untyped value (i.e. a `const void *` pointer) obtained from the leading-zero-truncation compressed column's corresponding `ValueAccessor` is [the address of a temporary buffer](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quickstep/blob/master/storage/CompressedColumnStoreValueAccessor.hpp#L112) -- i.e. the value pointer becomes invalid when the next `accessor->next()` gets called. [Keeping the value pointer](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quickstep/blob/master/types/operations/comparisons/LiteralComparators-inl.hpp#L546) across [multiple iterations of](https://github.com/apache/incubator-quickstep/blob/master/types/operations/comparisons/LiteralComparators-inl.hpp#L568) accessor->next() causes the problem.
    
    The fix is to copy the value pointer's underlying value to a local variable (so that the value remains valid across iterations of accessor->next()).
