----------------------------------
Summary: Improve performance of reflection-based serializers
Key: AVRO-1277
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1277
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.4
Reporter: Leo Romanoff
Priority: Minor
I've played a bit with Avro serialization based on reflection, i.e. with the
classes from org.apache.avro.generic package.
It works fine in this mode, but is rather slow compared to such frameworks like
protostuff or kryo.
Quick look at the source code has shown that a lot of reflection-based
operations and class lookups are not cached. And such operations are usually
pretty expensive when executed by a JVM.
So I changed some of org.apache.avro.generic classes, introduced caching and a
few other optimizations. Now it seems to perform much better.
