Description

The reset() method exists in some ValueVectors but not all. Its meaning is that it will bring the vector to an empty state, but not release any buffers (as opposed to clear() which resets and releases buffers).

It should be added to the ValueVector interface and implemented in the vector hierarchy where it currently is not.
