You cannot say there's no tradeoffs just because we have more memory. There are OOM issues we have seen, such as CALCITE-3784. In terms of the change itself, I wonder why we would need ConList in the first place. If we just use a LinkedList, we can concact the head node and also have O(1) complexity for size(). was (Author: xndai): I agree with [~julianhyde].

For many scenarios, however, we do not need the > exact paths between nodes. Instead, we are only interested in the lengths of > the shortest paths. > To get the path length, we need to get the shortest path first, which is > returned as a {{List}}, then we call the {{List#size()}} method. According to > the current implementation, the returned list is of type {{ConsList}}. The > time complexity of {{ConsList#size}} is O(p) (p is the number of vertices on > the path), which is inefficient. > In this issue, we revise the implementation of {{ConsList#size}} so that it > takes O(1) time. In addition, we also give a utiltiy to get the shortest > distances between nodes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
