Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-8614:
-------------------------------------------
What release would we want this to go in? 3.0? Will 3.0 require JDK 8?
Does it make sense to drive the choice for creating checksummed data based on
what version of the JDK is running so people who use Java 8 at runtime can get
the benefit even if Java 8 is not required?
> Select optimal CRC32 implementation at runtime

> JDK 8 has support for an intrinsic for CRC32 that runs at 12-13 gigabytes/sec
> per core in my quick and dirty test. PureJavaCRC32 is < 800 megabytes/sec if
> I recall and it has a lookup table that evicts random cache lines every time
> it runs.
> In order to capture the benefit of that when it is available we can select a
> CRC32 implementation at startup in a static block.
> If JDK 8 is not what is running we can fall back to the existing
> PureJavaCRC32 implementation.
