--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[~taejin] thank you for the improvement. Have you checked the cost of mutation 
size calculation vs the array copy cost? I have had a kind of a reversed idea 
to try: if (based some heuristics) a mutation is small then we can avoid size 
calculation and serialize directly into the thread local buffer, copy the 
result and get size + serialized value using serialize only call, without 
serializedSize invocation ...

>             Project: Apache Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: koo
>            Priority: Normal
>
> Description 
> In Mutation.Serializer.serialization(), we first calculate the serialized 
> size.
> After that, current code serializes the mutation to a thread local 
> DataOutputBuffer.
> Then unsafeToByteArray() creates a new byte array and copies all serialized 
> bytes.
> The serialized size is already known.
> So we can create a fixed size heap buffer first and serialize directly to 
> that buffer.
> This change removes one full byte array copy when we create a cached mutation 
> serialization.
> I also added a check that the written size is same as the calculated 
> serialized size.
> Benchmark
> I added a JMH benchmark for this case.
> For every benchmark operation:
>   - clear cached serialization
>   - serialize the Mutation
>   - create cached serialization again
> JDK 17, arm64, 1 thread:
>   | Value size | Before | After | Result |
>   |---:|---:|---:|---:|
>   | 128 B | 3.70 M ops/s | 3.87 M ops/s | +4% |
>   | 16 KiB | 608 K ops/s | 716 K ops/s | +18% |
>   | 256 KiB | 41.4 K ops/s | 53.1 K ops/s | +28% |
>   | 768 KiB | 6.83 K ops/s | 18.88 K ops/s | +177% |
>  
> The result is bigger for large mutations because current code writes the data 
> to a 
> direct buffer first, and then copies all data again to a heap byte array.
> With this change, serialization writes directly to the final heap byte array.
> This benchmark measures cache creation cost. It does not mean normal write 
> throughput will be 2.77x faster, because normal requests can reuse the cached 
> serialization.
