------------------------------------
Your patch does not apply cleanly. Can you please provide a proper patch file,
generated with 'svn diff'? Thanks!
Also, can you please provide your benchmark program?
> Schema.computeHash() to add if check to avoid unnecessary hashcode computation
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-1428
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1428
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Reporter: Tie Liu
> Attachments: AVRO-1428.patch

> In current Schma.java we have following implementation:
> public final int hashCode() {
> if (hashCode == NO_HASHCODE)
> hashCode = computeHash();
> return hashCode;
> }
> int computeHash() { return getType().hashCode() + props.hashCode(); }
> While hashCode is doing the checking of "if (hashCode == NO_HASHCODE)", the
> computeHash method is not. But the computeHash method is being called from
> Schema$Field.hashCode and the subclasses hashCode implementation like
> following:
> public int hashCode() { return name.hashCode() + schema.computeHash(); }
> //this is from Schema$Field class
> This is causing the the calculation of hashCode getting called
> unnecessarily extensively. The proposed changed is to add the "if" check
> inside the computeHash method instead:
> int computeHash()
> {
> if (hashCode == NO_HASHCODE)
> {
> hashCode = getType().hashCode() + props.hashCode();
> }
> return hashCode;
> }
> We did a simple test to compare the performance difference, below is a
> summary of the heap snapshot of comparing the difference:
> As a test I wrote a small program that creates a HashMap<Schema.Field,
> Integer>() and enters a loop simply identifying whether various Schema.Field
> instances are keys in the map. Obviously this is a pathological test case,
> but when running with the current implementation of Schema.Field it has (in
> about 30 seconds) used up nearly 8 GBytes of heap in instantiating
> intermediate objects associated with calling Schema.computeHash():
