Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-8614:
-------------------------------------------
I think I may be wrong. There is some wonkiness with the build picking up JDK 8
some of the time even though the first JDK in my path is 7. I think you do need
the .class file for the fake CRC32 and not just the source.

>
> JDK 8 has support for an intrinsic for CRC32 that runs at 12-13 gigabytes/sec
> per core in my quick and dirty test. PureJavaCRC32 is < 800 megabytes/sec if
> I recall and it has a lookup table that evicts random cache lines every time
> it runs.
> In order to capture the benefit of that when it is available we can select a
> CRC32 implementation at startup in a static block.
> If JDK 8 is not what is running we can fall back to the existing
> PureJavaCRC32 implementation.
