BELUGA BEHR updated AVRO-2049:
------------------------------
Attachment: AVRO-2049.2.patch
Updated patch to include a couple of examples of the same superfluous execution
> Remove Superfluous Configuration From AvroSerializer
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2049
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2049
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.7.7, 1.8.2
> Reporter: BELUGA BEHR
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: AVRO-2049.1.patch, AVRO-2049.2.patch
>
>
> In the class {{org.apache.avro.hadoop.io.AvroSerializer}}, we see that the
> Avro block size is configured with a hard-coded value and there is a request
> to benchmark different buffer sizes.
> {code:title=org.apache.avro.hadoop.io.AvroSerializer}
> /**
> * The block size for the Avro encoder.
> *
> * This number was copied from the AvroSerialization of
> org.apache.avro.mapred in Avro 1.5.1.
> *
> * TODO(gwu): Do some benchmarking with different numbers here to see if it
> is important.

> private static final int AVRO_ENCODER_BLOCK_SIZE_BYTES = 512;
> /** An factory for creating Avro datum encoders. */
> private static EncoderFactory mEncoderFactory
> = new
> EncoderFactory().configureBlockSize(AVRO_ENCODER_BLOCK_SIZE_BYTES);
> {code}
> However, there is no need to benchmark, this setting is superfluous and is
> ignored with the current implementation.
> {code:title=org.apache.avro.hadoop.io.AvroSerializer}
> @Override
> public void open(OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException {
> mOutputStream = outputStream;
> mAvroEncoder = mEncoderFactory.binaryEncoder(outputStream, mAvroEncoder);
> }
> {code}
> {{org.apache.avro.io.EncoderFactory.binaryEncoder}} ignores this setting.
> This setting is only relevant for calls to
> {{org.apache.avro.io.EncoderFactory.blockingBinaryEncoder}}
> which considers the configured "Block Size" for doing binary encoding of
> blocked Array types as laid out in the
> [specs|https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/spec.html#binary_encode_complex].
> It can simply be removed.
