Replace usages of bytes.Buffer with strings.Builder #14539

Description

I went through each of these manually and eyeballed to make sure they followed the pattern of only creating the buffer and using the result of .String() after later.

I didn't do everything within tests since I didn't think it was too relevant.

I also unified some of the usage patterns to be var buf strings.Builder as opposed to buf := new(bytes.Buffer) etc.

All of the rest of the changes were just from gofmt. I'm assuming they are fine, but I understand this adds some more noise to the diffs and might not be desired. I can look into teasing them out if that's a concern.

But overall, this change should yield 1 less memory allocation since the bytes -> string is done without an extra allocation.

Review Checklist

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has a descriptive title.
  • Ensure there is a link to an issue (except for internal cleanup and flaky test fixes), new features should have an RFC that documents use cases and test cases.

Tests

  • Bug fixes should have at least one unit or end-to-end test, enhancement and new features should have a sufficient number of tests.

Documentation

  • Apply the release notes (needs details) label if users need to know about this change.
  • New features should be documented.
  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.
  • There should be a comment at the top of each new or modified test to explain what the test does.

New flags

  • Is this flag really necessary?
  • Flag names must be clear and intuitive, use dashes (-), and have a clear help text.

If a workflow is added or modified:

  • Each item in Jobs should be named in order to mark it as required.
  • If the workflow needs to be marked as required, the maintainer team must be notified.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • RPC changes should be compatible with vitess-operator
  • If a flag is removed, then it should also be removed from vitess-operator and arewefastyet, if used there.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.

I can pull this out into a separate change, but just came across it while doing all of this, and figured it'd be good to adopt the newer convention from go1.20.

if tcase.outSQL != buf.String() {
t.Errorf("%v.EncodeSQL = %q, want %q", tcase.in, buf.String(), tcase.outSQL)
}
buf = &bytes.Buffer{}
tcase.in.EncodeASCII(buf)
buf.Reset()

Changed to just reset and reuse the buffer instead of creating a new one.

Other places within here were using io.WriteString, so maintained the convention.

Might as well reuse the buffer here.

These are all reasonable changes. Thanks Matt!

Nice work! I was wondering if we could run micro benchmarks that will show an improvement, but since these changes are all over the code base, it's probably not worth trying to run any of the ones we do have - like the sqlparser ones.

Yeah, I considered that, but figured it wasn't really worth it. It's likely an impact, but hard to quantify if it's measurable or not and would depend on the workload, etc.
