BOOKKEEPER-1075: BK LedgerMetadata: more memory-efficient parsing of configs It is the contribution from Alex Yarmula commit 9d9d7dd26235a9beda4421b7bed750fea1789076 Author: Alex Yarmula <a...@twitter.com> Date: Wed Sep 23 05:57:30 2015 -0700 BK LedgerMetadata: more memory-efficient parsing of configs Looking at the most prevalent client-side memory allocations, I noticed that we allocate 4KB every time we open a ledger. This is caused by allocating a 4KB buffer (in TextFormat.toStringBuilder) to account for the maximum possible Protobufs message, which is unnecessary in our case: we know the exact size of the metadata ( << 500 B) and don't need to allocate more. TextFormat.merge(Readable, Message.Builder) is the current method we use. This changes to use TextFormat.merge(CharSequence, Message.Builder), which avoids the extra 4K allocation conversion + an extra StringBuilder.
