Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-989:
-----------------------------------
This looks good to me. It will cause folks to have to re-generate their code
when they upgrade since the base class for generated code has changed
incompatibly. Should we hold it for 1.7.0 for that reason?
(I branch lazily. I have not yet created a 1.6 branch since everything we've
committed to trunk so far is also destined for 1.6. If we decide to hold this
for 1.7.0 we could create a 1.6 branch from trunk, then commit this to trunk.)
> Java: Improve Builder performance in Specific API

> Key: AVRO-989
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-989

>
> The Specific API generates Builder objects for each record. This builder
> uses a boolean[] to store flags for each field to indicate whether the field
> is set or not.
> This is not space efficient, a boolean[] takes 16 bytes plus one byte per
> field, rounded up to the nearest 8 byte interval.
> This can be improved on by using BitSet for large records, and bitmasks on an
> int for records with less than 32 fields.
