Description

ASTERIXDB-3360 has caused several issues (e.g., ASTERIXDB-3453). Also, the changes related to ASTERIXDB-3360 in this patch can confiscate and write empty pages due to calling reset() after writing the mega-leaf node's columns in ColumnBatchWriter. This reset() call might pollute the buffer cache by inserting empty buffers into the buffer cache's pages table.
