Daryn Sharp created HDFS-10662: ---------------------------------- Summary: Optimize UTF8 string/byte conversions Key: HDFS-10662 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10662 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Sub-task Components: hdfs Reporter: Daryn Sharp Assignee: Daryn Sharp
String/byte conversions may take either a Charset instance or its canonical name. One might think a Charset instance would be faster due to avoiding a lookup and instantiation of a Charset, but it's not. The canonical string name variants will cache the string encoder/decoder (obtained from a Charset) resulting in better performance. LOG4J2-935 describes a real-world performance boost. I micro-benched a marginal runtime improvement on jdk 7/8. However for a 16 byte path, using the canonical name generated 50% less garbage. For a 64 byte path, 25% of the garbage. Given the sheer number of times that paths are (re)parsed, the cost adds up quickly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
