Wes McKinney created ARROW-10351: ------------------------------------ Summary: [C++][Flight] See if reading/writing to gRPC get/put streams asynchronously helps performance Key: ARROW-10351 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10351 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: C++ Reporter: Wes McKinney
We don't use any asynchronous concepts in the way that Flight is implemented now, i.e. IPC deconstruction/reconstruction (which may include compression!) is not performed concurrent with moving FlightData objects through the gRPC machinery, which may yield suboptimal performance. It might be better to apply an actor-type approach where a dedicated thread retrieves and prepares the next raw IPC message (within a Future) while the current IPC message is being processed -- that way reading/writing to/from the gRPC stream is not blocked on the IPC code doing its thing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
