########## File path: jmh-benchmarks/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/jmh/acl/AclAuthorizerBenchmark.java ########## @@ -69,33 +70,39 @@ @BenchmarkMode(Mode.AverageTime) @OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) public class AclAuthorizerBenchmark { - @Param({"10000", "50000", "200000"}) + @Param({"10000", "40000", "80000"}) Review comment: The underlying algorithm of AuthorizeByResourceType() implementation in AclAuthorizer has several characteristics: 1. If any "allow resource" of the given ACE does not have a dominant "deny resource", the API will return immediately 2. The complexity is O(n*m) where `n` is the number of "allow resources" of the given ACE, 'm' is the number of "deny resources" of the given ACE, but not related to the number of "ACE" in the cluster. $1 means that, given an ACE, suppose `p%` of its "allow resource" does not have a dominant "deny resource", if `resourceCount` is `r`, on average, after checking `r * p * 0.01` "allow resources", the API will return. a) if we are let the "dominant deny resource" distribute evenly, like use the (loop index % something) to determine which "allow resource" should have a dominant "deny resource", we end up iterating the same amount of the "allow resource" and returning from the API call every time, which is `r*p*0.01` b) if we are determine which "allow resource" should have a dominant "deny resource", the result will be too noisy. We may iterate only 1 resource or iterate all resources based on the randomize algorithm and seed. $2 means that, the API time cost is not related to the number of "ACE" but is hyperbolically increasing when `resourceCount` is increasing. Under the assumption in (1), the actual complexity would be (r * r * p * 0.01) So what I was doing is to directly test the worst case, where p = 1, which means 100% of the "allow resource" will have a dominant "deny resource. The complexity hence would be (r^2). It's rare that a cluster can have 200k "allow resources" and 200k corresponding "dominant deny resources" for each user, and it's not fair to have a relatively smaller `aclCount` and huger `resourceCount`, as the API is optimizing the performance by indexing on `ACE`. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
