Hi Shile,

I haven't given it a proper review yet, but one minor suggestion.  In
general it's good practice to wait at least a few business days before
posting a new version of a patch set.  That way it gives people time to
review, and it also helps to avoid flooding people's inboxes.

Hi, Josh,

Thank you very much for your kindly reminder!
I got it and very sorry for that flooding.

Best regards!

Any actual time measurements?

Sorry for missed in cover letter!

The ORC unwind tables sorting cost about 100ms in boot time on my 
2vcpu16GB VM (with 2.5GHz Xeon CPU).
After sort at build time, the sorttable needs about 70ms in host.

Thanks!
