Is this code really needed? A MergedResultSet just delegates all underlying logic to the 'normal' ResultSets. Those already support lazy decoding. So could we not just call the decode_row/decode_column function of one of the underlying ResultSets instead?

Can we cache this instead of reconstructing it for every row?

Add lazy decode to partitioned query
This commit introduces a
lazy_decodeoption toBatchSnapshot.run_partitioned_query. When set toTrue, the result set yields raw protobuf objects instead of decoded Python objects.This allows the CPU-intensive decoding work to be deferred and managed by the caller, which can significantly improve performance in multi-threaded applications by reducing GIL contention.
To support this,
MergedResultSetnow includesdecode_row()anddecode_column()methods for manual decoding of results.
