Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-3634: --------------------------------------- {quote} It's more compelling to me when compared in the context of the existing RPC performance. 5% is gain okay (PS vs RPC), but 16% (BB vs RPC) is a fairly substantial improvement. I was a little worried about the variance (even though the worst cases are pretty close) but I ran some tests with the commit log disable and the deviation is on par with the rest, I think it's just fast enough to push it that hard. {quote} That's interesting. I got so wrapped up in the {{ByteBuffer}} vs. {{String}} comparison that I lost track of the fact that your results put CQL w/ prepared statements ahead of RPC _across the board_ (which is the most important take-away from this I hope!). That would mean that you're willing to trade that node-side abstraction for performance that is _already above-and-beyond_ RPC. I think I completely overestimated how compelling the simplicity/abstraction vs performance trade-off argument would be to folks. > compare string vs. binary prepared statement parameters > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3634 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3634 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Eric Evans > Assignee: Eric Evans > Priority: Minor > Labels: cql > Fix For: 1.1 > > > Perform benchmarks to compare the performance of string and pre-serialized > binary parameters to prepared statements. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
