描述
While reading the scan-planning filtering path, I found a small optimization in the metrics evaluators. Using it as a concrete example to raise a broader question about how to validate this kind of change.
## Proposed change
The metrics evaluators run per data file. Each predicate currently calls `expr->reference()` repeatedly, and `reference()` returns a `shared_ptr` via `shared_from_this()` — an atomic refcount bump every time. The `StrictMetricsEvaluator` macro even discards a `dynamic_cast` result only to re-fetch the same reference:
```diff
- #define RETURN_IF_NOT_REFERENCE(expr) \
- if (auto ref = dynamic_cast(expr.get()); ref == nullptr) { \
- return kRowsMightNotMatch; \
- }
+ #define BIND_REFERENCE_OR_RETURN(ref, expr) \
+ const auto* ref = dynamic_cast((expr).get()); \
+ if (ref == nullptr) { \
+ return kRowsMightNotMatch; \
+ }
Result IsNull(const std::shared_ptr& expr) override {
- RETURN_IF_NOT_REFERENCE(expr);
- int32_t id = expr->reference()->field().field_id();
+ BIND_REFERENCE_OR_RETURN(ref, expr);
+ int32_t id = ref->field().field_id();
...
```
Reusing the cast result drops the repeated virtual `reference()` calls (and their atomic ops) across every predicate, with no behavior change.
## Expected benefit
The win is on the CPU-bound filtering step, evaluated in isolation. Scan planning as a whole is IO-bound, so on an e2e scan this kind of change is almost certainly unmeasurable — which is exactly why it needs to be measured on the filtering step alone.
## Which raises the question: do we need a benchmark suite?
This is exactly the kind of change that's hard to justify without one. The repo has no benchmark infrastructure today, only the gtest suite. A minimal benchmark on the filtering path would let us measure such changes on the CPU-bound step alone, rather than guessing or claiming a win against IO-dominated planning.
So before going further:
1. **How** should we add it — Google Benchmark fetched the same way googletest already is, behind an off-by-default CMake option?
2. **Where** should it live — a top-level `benchmark/`, or co-located under `src/iceberg/**/`?
I'm happy to put up a draft PR for a minimal suite + the filtering benchmark above once there's agreement on direction.

调研方向
首先检查现有的 CMake 和 GoogleTest 设置,然后跟踪 src/iceberg/**/ 下的过滤路径及其指标评估器。当项目具备一套已达成共识的最小基准测试套件、一个默认关闭的构建选项,以及一个隔离测量过滤步骤的基准测试时,这项工作就完成了。
