James Baldassari commented on AVRO-853:
---------------------------------------
I was just looking for related issues, and I came across AVRO-261, which talks
about immutable Schemas and caching of hash codes. Is there a separate issue
for making Schemas completely immutable?
> Cache hash codes in Schema and Field
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-853
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-853
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Reporter: Douglas Kaminsky
> Attachments: AVRO-853.patch
>
>
> We are experiencing a serious performance degradation when trying to
> store/retrieve fields and schemas in hash-based data structures (eg.
> HashMap). Since all fields and schemas are immutable (with the exception of
> RecordSchema allowing deferred setting of Fields) it makes sense to cache the
> hash code on the object instead of recalculating every time the hashCode
> method gets called.
> (Are there other mutable Schema sub-types that I'm not thinking about?)
