Benjamin Reed commented on ZOOKEEPER-472: ----------------------------------------- i think we should expand this to not instantiate a hashmap for all zondes if there aren't any children. it creates a fixed size overhead for all leaf nodes and since there will always be more leaves than inner nodes, it is a none trivial space saving. i think it could also speed serialization/deserialization since it is faster to process a null then an empty hashmap. plus i think it keeps the code simpler to not have a new class. > Making DataNode not instantiate a HashMap when the node is ephmeral > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-472 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-472 > Project: Zookeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: server > Affects Versions: 3.1.1, 3.2.0 > Reporter: Erik Holstad > Assignee: Erik Holstad > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.3.0 > > > Looking at the code, there is an overhead of a HashSet object for that nodes > children, even though the node might be an ephmeral node and cannot have > children. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
