Greg Hogan created FLINK-4705: --------------------------------- Summary: Instrument FixedLengthRecordSorter Key: FLINK-4705 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4705 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Local Runtime Affects Versions: 1.2.0 Reporter: Greg Hogan Assignee: Greg Hogan
The {{NormalizedKeySorter}} sorts on the concatenation of (potentially partial) keys plus an 8-byte pointer to the record. After sorting each pointer must be dereferenced, which is not cache friendly. The {{FixedLengthRecordSorter}} sorts on the concatentation of full keys followed by the remainder of the record. The records can then be deserialized in sequence. Instrumenting the {{FixedLengthRecordSorter}} requires implementing the comparator methods {{writereadWithKeyNormalization}} and {{readWithKeyNormalization}}. Testing {{JaccardIndex}} on an m4.16xlarge the scale 18 runtime dropped from 71.8 to 68.8 s (4.3% faster) and the scale 20 runtime dropped from 546.1 to 501.8 s (8.8% faster). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
