Thank you Peter. This is a really nice change.
As a follow on, and not for JDK 15, I observe that Class::isRecord0 /
JVM_IsRecord shows up as consuming a significant amount of time, more than 10%,
in some runs of the deserialization benchmark. The isRecord implementation is a
native method in the JVM, so relatively expensive to call.
This shows an opportunity to improve the Class::isRecord implementation with a
simple cache of the record-ness of the j.l.Class, as is done selectively with
other particular aspects of a class’s state. There are various ways to
implement this, but here is just one [*].
Running the deserialization benchmark with this change [*], gives the following
results:
Benchmark (length) Mode Cnt Score
Error Units
RecordSerializationBench.deserializeClasses 10 avgt 10 14.136 ±
0.841 us/op
RecordSerializationBench.deserializeClasses 100 avgt 10 61.821 ±
1.279 us/op
RecordSerializationBench.deserializeClasses 1000 avgt 10 519.473 ±
7.950 us/op
RecordSerializationBench.deserializeRecords 10 avgt 10 13.781 ±
1.917 us/op
RecordSerializationBench.deserializeRecords 100 avgt 10 54.061 ±
4.188 us/op
RecordSerializationBench.deserializeRecords 1000 avgt 10 444.538 ±
13.940 us/op
I think it is worth considering caching the record-ness state of a j.l.Class,
as I’m sure it will be widely used in third-party serialization libraries, as
well as by Java Serialization.
