-----------------------------------------
Hi Robert,
Does the test results look good?
On your question "Do you have plans to port this to trunk/branch-2?", what
would be the process to do that?
Thanks!
> Performance improvement with compressor object reinit restriction

> Key: MAPREDUCE-4354
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4354
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: performance
> Affects Versions: 0.20.205.0
> Reporter: Ankit Kamboj
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: performance
> Fix For: 0.20.205.0

> HADOOP-5879 patch aimed at picking the conf (instead of default) settings for
> GzipCodec. It also involved re-initializing the recycled compressor object.
> On our performance tests, this re-initialization led to performance
> degradation of 15% for LzoCodec because re-initialization for Lzo involves
> reallocation of buffers. LzoCodec takes the initial settings from config so
> it is not necessary to re-initialize it. This patch checks for the codec
> class and calls reinit only if the codec class is Gzip. This led to
> significant performance improvement of 15% for LzoCodec.
