For code which repeatedly access columns by name, this LINQ expression can form part of the hot path. This PR replaces the LINQ with the equivalent for loop, and should preserve all existing behaviour (return -1 in the event of no match).
I ran a quick benchmark to validate the speedup
Some numbers from my machine
In theory, we could achieve a greater speedup by maintaining a lookup of column names to ordinals. We already have several lookup structures inside
Schema
, but none of them provides access to ordinal values. However, the speedup from adding another mapping might not warrant adding yet another lookup structure toSchema
.If merged, will close #44575.
