> Bytes.toStringBinary is quite expensive due to its use of {{String.format}}.
> It seems to me that {{String.format}} is overkill for the purpose and I could
> actually make the function up to 45-times faster by replacing the part with a
> simpler hand-crafted code.
> This is probably a non-issue for HBase server as the function is not used in
> performance-sensitive contexts but I figured it wouldn't hurt to make it
> faster as it's widely used in builtin tools - Shell, {{HFilePrettyPrinter}}
> with {{-p}} option, etc. - and it can be used in clients.
> h4. Background:
> We have [an HBase monitoring
> tool|https://github.com/kakao/hbase-region-inspector] that periodically
> collects the information of the regions and it calls {{Bytes.toStringBinary}}
> during the process to make some information suitable for display. Profiling
> revealed that a large portion of the processing time was spent in
> {{String.format}}.
> h4. Micro-benchmark:
> {code}
> byte[] bytes = new byte[256];
> for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; ++i) {
> // Mixture of printable and non-printable characters.
> // Maximal performance gain (45x) is observed when the array is solely
> // composed of non-printable characters.
> bytes[i] = (byte) i;
> }
> long started = System.nanoTime();
> for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) {
> Bytes.toStringBinary(bytes);
> }
> System.out.println(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toMillis(System.nanoTime() -
> started));
> {code}
> - Without the patch: 134176 ms
> - With the patch: 3890 ms
> I made sure that the new version returns the same value as before and
> simplified the check for non-printable characters.
