Performance improvements to BinaryDecoder
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-315
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-315
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Thiruvalluvan M. G.


The forthcoming patch improves the performance of BinaryDecoder.readLong(), 
readFloat() and readDouble().

The test-patch has a command-line program Perf in org.apache.avro.io in the 
(test part of the source directory) which tests the performance of readInt() 
(which calls readLong())  readFloat() and readDouble(). On my machine, the 
patch improves the performance by 10% for readInt() and about 50% for 
readFloat() and readDouble().

The idea is to unroll the loops in readLong(), readFloat() and readDouble(). 
There is a small change in doReadBytes() which checks for most common condition 
before less common ones.
