Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1043: ------------------------------------------- Is this code exercised by unit tests already? > Faster UUID comparisons > ----------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1043 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1043 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: James Golick > Priority: Minor > Attachments: faster_uuid_compare.diff > > > As I explained on the mailing list, doing slice queries on CFs that are > sorted by TimeUUIDType gets slower as the value of count increases. According > to my profiles, this is largely due to the fact that ConcurrentSkipListMap > calls the comparator very frequently, which is extremely inefficient. In > order to compare two UUIDs, it has to materialize them both in to > java.util.UUID objects which is quite slow. The more UUIDs to compare, the > slower it is. > Attached is a patch that compares UUIDs by extracting the timestamp directly > from the byte[] representation. According to my tests, it's close to a 50% > performance improvement. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
