* TEXT and BLOB now have separate identifiers internally
* TEXT columns are identified as such in system catalog
* cpimport only requires hex input for BLOB, not TEXT
This patch adds enough support so that cross engines joins with blob
columns in the foreign engines will work. The modifications are as
follows:
* Add CrossEngine support for non-NULL-terminated (binary) data
* Add row data support for blobs (similar to varbinary)
* Add engine support for writing out blob data correctly to the storage
engine API
* Re-enable blob support in the engine plugin
This fix improves the performance of ExeMgr by doing the following:
* Significantly reduces the amount of time the xml configuration is
scanned
* Uses a much faster way to determine the CPU core count
* Reduces the amount of times certain allocations are executed
* Rowgroup pre-allocates vectors for 1024 rows
This improves performance for the first query of a connection and the
performance for smaller result sets. It may well improve performance in
other areas too.
