Using StringView / German Style Strings to Make Queries Faster: Part 2 - String Operations

In this blog post, the authors discuss how to accelerate string operations using StringViewArray in Arrow and DataFusion. They cover various aspects such as faster comparison, take and filter operations, garbage collection, function inlining, buffer size tuning, end-to-end query performance improvements, and deduplicating string values for aggregation. The authors also mention potential pitfalls of using StringViewArray and express their gratitude to the community members who contributed to this project. Overall, the implementation of StringViewArray has shown significant performance improvements in string-intensive workloads.
