I'm not very familiar with it and thus the question, what is group values?
is it group keys, or exact values attached for specific key?

Consider the following example, (1, 'a') is one of the group values, so is (2, 'b') and (3, 'c')
statement ok
create table t(a int, b varchar) as values (1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (1, 'a'), (3, 'c');
query ITI
select a, b, count(*) from t group by a, b;
----
1 a 2
2 b 1
3 c 1

In Rows implementation, we convert (1, 'a') to row and compare against it. In Column implementation, we compare iteratively from 1 to 'a' in this case.

This is a great example. I added in to the docs

| group_values: Vec<T::Native>, | ||
| nulls: Vec<bool>, |

should be it a BooleanArray? so this null checks will be faster and in 1 place?

You are foreshadowing :) This is an excellent point. @jayzhan211 and I are working on exactly this topic. #12623

its good to me, leaving the final review to @jayzhan211
I would add an example or something on group keys/values, its not very obvious imho

was it renamed in #12619?
