- netty-0001: DnsResolveContext.finalResult ArrayList.contains O(R²) dedup on DNS records

  Fix: LinkedHashSet gives O(1) dedup with preserved insertion order

  Fix: add visited HashSet, return early if already visited
  Ratio: 8x at D=3 (common Spring proxy depth)

- doris-0004: NormalizeRepeat.buildContextWithAlias ImmutableList.contains O(S×G) for GROUPING SETS
  File: fe-core/.../nereids/rules/analysis/NormalizeRepeat.java buildContextWithAlias()
  Fix: convert groupingSetExpressions to HashSet before loop — O(1) lookup
  Ratio: 49x for CUBE(c1..c8), 1000x+ for CUBE(c1..c10)

+# netty-0001: DnsResolveContext.finalResult ArrayList dedup O(R²)
+
+## Classification
+- **CWE**: CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
+- **Severity**: MEDIUM
+- **Component**: Netty — `resolver-dns`
+- **File**: `resolver-dns/src/main/java/io/netty/resolver/dns/DnsResolveContext.java`
+- **Method**: `onResponseAddRecord` (inner, around line 914)
+- **Complexity**: O(R²) where R = total DNS records accumulated across all nameserver responses
+
+## Description
+
+`DnsResolveContext` accumulates resolved records into `finalResult`, an `ArrayList<T>`.
+Before adding each new record, it checks for duplicates via `finalResult.contains(converted)`.
+`ArrayList.contains` is an O(N) linear scan, making the dedup loop O(R²) over all R records
+collected during a hostname resolution.
+
+The code contains a self-aware comment that admits a `LinkedHashSet` would be better, but
+incorrectly dismisses it:
+
+```java
+// While using a LinkedHashSet or HashSet may sound like the perfect fit for this we will use an
+// ArrayList here as duplicates should be found quite unfrequently in the wild and we dont want to pay
+// for the extra memory copy and allocations in this cases later on.
+```
+
+This reasoning is flawed: a `LinkedHashSet` avoids the copy because `toArray()` can be
+called once at the end; duplicates are the normal case for multi-server failover (each
+server returns the same A records), not rare. With 5 nameservers each returning 10 A
+records, `contains()` is called 40+ times scanning a list growing from 1 to 10 elements —
+O(40) vs O(10) for a set. With CNAME chains and search domain retries that accumulate
+records from multiple passes, the list can reach 20-50 entries, making O(R²) more visible.
+
+The `DnsAddressResolveContext` subclass sets `isDuplicateAllowed()` to `false`, meaning
+this dedup path is always executed for address resolution.
+
+## Defect Code
+
+```java
+// resolver-dns/src/main/java/io/netty/resolver/dns/DnsResolveContext.java  lines ~906-916
+if (finalResult == null) {
+    finalResult = new ArrayList<T>(8);
+    finalResult.add(converted);
+} else if (isDuplicateAllowed() || !finalResult.contains(converted)) {  // O(N) scan
+    finalResult.add(converted);
+} else {
+    shouldRelease = true;
+}
+```
+
+## Fix
+
+Replace `ArrayList` with `LinkedHashSet` for dedup tracking, then convert to list at
+`finishResolve()` when results are returned. This maintains insertion order while giving
+O(1) dedup.
+
+```java
+// Change field declaration
+- private List<T> finalResult;
++ private Set<T> finalResult;   // LinkedHashSet maintains insertion order, O(1) contains
+
+// Change allocation site
+- finalResult = new ArrayList<T>(8);
++ finalResult = new LinkedHashSet<T>(8);
+
+// finishResolve already calls filterResults which can consume any Collection;
+// the List<T> result = filterResults(finalResult) call works with a Set input.
+```

+## Hot Path
+
+Called on every DNS record during `DnsResolveContext` record accumulation — which happens
+once per DNS address resolution. For services doing frequent hostlookups (microservice
+discovery, gRPC name resolution, load-balancer refresh), this executes thousands of times
+per second.
