I'm not sure if I've miss read the code for the DataNode, but to me it looks
like every node gets a set of children even though it might be an
ephemeral node which cannot have children, so we are wasting 240 B for every
one of those. Not sure if it makes a big difference, but just thinking
that
Hi Erik,
I am not sure if that would a considerable opitmization but even if you
wanted to do it, it would be much more than just adding a check in the
constructor (the serialization/deserialization would need to have
specialized code). Right now all the datanodes are treated equally for
Erik, if you'd like enter a JIRA and take a whack at it go ahead.
Perhaps a subclass of DataNode specific for ephemerals? That way it can
handle any particulars - and should also minimize the number of
if(children==null) type checks that would be needed. (don't neg.
impact performance or b/w
Will file Jira and have a stab at it when I get a little time.
Thanks guys!
