Doug Cutting updated AVRO-557:
------------------------------

    Attachment: AVRO-557.patch

The google-collections based version causes test-tools to hang running the 
tethering test, a bit of multi-threaded Avro.  There could well be bugs in the 
tethering code that use of google's concurrent hashmap somehow brings out, but 
I didn't take the time to debug that.

Google collections 1.0 is also incompatible with checkstyle, which needs 
google-collections 0.9.  So, until checkstyle 5.1 is available in a maven repo, 
if we use google collections, then we need to use 0.9.

Here's a new version that doesn't rely on google collections for the above 
reasons.  The tethering test passes and checkstyle works, but it's a bit slower:

GenericReaderOneTimeUsageTest: 2264 ms, 1.839572825273033 million entries/sec.  
0.008609545204085958 million bytes/sec

I also tried using an equals hashmap, and things slow to around 3800 
milliseconds.  Also, folks should not directly compare my timings with Kevin's: 
my laptop seems about 35% slower than whatever Kevin uses.  If that's right, 
this latest version should be a bit faster than 1.2.

> There are big gains to be had in performance when using a BinaryDecoder and a 
> GenericDatumReader just one time. This is due to the relatively expensive 
> parsing and initialization that came with 1.3. Patch with example code and a 
> Perf harness to follow.
