Research direction

Start by locating DataFusion's hashbrown usage and benchmark entry points, then review how Hashbrown's foldhash change applies to those paths. Compare current hashing performance with foldhash and document whether the results justify switching; done means the benchmark evidence supports a clear decision and the relevant usage is updated if appropriate.
