-----------------------------------------
Summary: Replace usage of Adler32 with CRC32
Key: CASSANDRA-8684
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8684
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Reporter: Ariel Weisberg
Attachments: CRCBenchmark.java, PureJavaCrc32.java
I could not find a situation in which Adler32 outperformed PureJavaCrc32 much
less the intrinsic from Java 8. For small allocations PureJavaCrc32 was much
faster probably due to the JNI overhead of invoking the native Adler32
implementation where the array has to be allocated and copied.
I tested on a 65w Sandy Bridge i5 running Ubuntu 14.04 with JDK 1.7.0_71 as
well as a c3.8xlarge running Ubuntu 14.04.
I think it makes sense to stop using Adler32 when generating new checksums.
c3.8xlarge, results are time in milliseconds, lower is better

Another fun fact. Performance of the CRC32 intrinsic appears to double from
Sandy Bridge -> Haswell. Unless I am measuring something different when going
from Linux/Sandy to Haswell/OS X.
The intrinsic/JDK 8 implementation also operates against DirectByteBuffers
better and coding against the wrapper will get that boost when run with Java 8.
