Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue asks the Java implementation to split and transfer validity-buffer contents a word at a time instead of a byte at a time. Start by locating the validity-buffer transfer implementation and its existing tests, then verify that transfer behavior remains correct while using word-sized operations.
