------------------------------
Hi Rick,
Thanks.
>From your reply,Dunno how a particular code executes only if a platform is
>available (implementation)... any links to src file of the same in derby
>codebase ... should get me started ...
Though again java8 src is blackbox to me ... obviously its not possible that
java8 provides increased parallelism to the java6 codebase transparently ...
unless they have some artificial intelligence in the JIT and Runtime which
detects such candidate bytecode and does it on the fly ... AFAIAC ... thats not
what it is ...
Yes am interested in performing some experiments very much but need someone
(help) to point me to a particular piece of code or two or 3 source files ...
yes low hanging fruit discovery will get the Java8 and future track started ...
since its a huge huge task to convert the code manually to java8
So looking for some one to point to an implementation in src somewhere that
uses collections sorting loop etc. which then can be converted and then tested
against a query on both the default derby and the derby8 on jvm8.
I still feel that even a 1% chance of 5% improvement in performance is worth
taking since now the software (JVM) supports the hardware commonly available
...
Thanks,
Sagar

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Network Server
> Affects Versions: 11.0.0.0
> Reporter: sagar
>
> Suggestion ...
> Is it possible to auto modify the existing source code using tools like
> Netbeans, and take advantage of the new features in JDK 1.8 for better
> multiuser performance and better utilization of current day multicore
> processors?
> Plainly put, can we have from 11.0 onwards a version of derby which takes
> advantage of the advancements and new features in java 1.8 ...
