Josh Elser updated ACCUMULO-3079: --------------------------------- Priority: Critical (was: Major) > improve system iterator performance by collapsing call stack > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: ACCUMULO-3079 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3079 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Adam Fuchs > Assignee: Adam Fuchs > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.8.0 > > Attachments: iterator_performance_20140822_1.patch, > iterator_performance_test_harness.tar.gz > > > System iterators are at the core of the tightest loops in Accumulo, handling > every key/value pair that traverses through a scan or a compaction. In many > cases, iterators are the current performance bottleneck for Accumulo. Every > bit that we can improve performance in the iterators translates into better > performance for Accumulo. > There are several strategies that can be applied to the current code base to > improve performance, including: > # Inlining calls that are hard for the JVM to inline at runtime > # Moving checks for null outside of tight loops when they are invariants > within the loop > # Eliminating "no-op" iterators at iterator tree construction time > # Making frequently used and assigned-once objects final (like iterator > sources) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
