Suraj Menon commented on HAMA-559:
----------------------------------
Just looked into the code. I did not profile the code, but isn't the GC coming
into picture as the byte buffers are added and removed?
> It is faster than yours, but I still can't hit the throughput limit of my
> drives. Very strange, there must be some abstraction layers in Java causing
> significant overhead...
Could it be because we are not setting cpu affinity for both the threads?
Are these Java 6 or 7 numbers?

> After HAMA-521 is done, we can add a spilling queue which just holds the
> messages in RAM that fit into the heap space. The rest can be flushed to disk.
> We may call this a HybridQueue or something like that.
> The benefits should be that we don't have to flush to disk so often and get
> faster. However we may have more GC so it is always overall faster.
> The requirements for this queue also include:
> - The message object once written to the queue (after returning from the
> write call) could be modified, but the changes should not be reflected in the
> messages stored in the queue.
> - For now let's implement a queue that does not support concurrent reading
> and writing. This feature is needed when we implement asynchronous
> communication.
