Emmanuel Lecharny updated DIRAPI-322: ------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 2.0.0) > Use a TLS buffer to encode requests and responses > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DIRAPI-322 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-322 > Project: Directory Client API > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0.0.AM3 > Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.0.0.AM3 > > > The way we encode messages is a bit complex. We try not to allocate many > buffers, but instead pre-compute the needed size, then allocate the buffer, > and ultimately store the data. > It might be interesting to pre-allocate a buffer that is stored in the Thread > Local Storage, big enough to store all the message, most of the time (like, a > 4Kb buffer). As every encoding will be done in one single thread up to > completion, this should never be problematic. > Another improvement, to avoid storing temporary information (like the bytes' > length or the byte[] for Strings) would be to encode the messages by the end: > Messages are TLV constructs, where the L gives some information about the V > part. Usually, we know about the L when the V has been computed. If we start > by flushing the V into the buffer, from the end, we can append the L before > it, and so on. When done, we simply have to copy the whole data into the > right sized buffer. > That would save a hell lot of allocations, thus GC cycles. > If the TLS buffer is not big enough, we simply compute the needed size, and > encode the message the standard way. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
