Xavier Léauté commented on KAFKA-5150:
--------------------------------------
I also have a versions of the same patch for 0.10.2.x in case someone is
interested, or if we decide to do another 0.10.2.x release.

> LZ4 decompression is 4-5x slower than Snappy on small batches / messages

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: consumer
> Affects Versions: 0.8.2.2, 0.9.0.1, 0.11.0.0, 0.10.2.1

> I benchmarked RecordsIteratorDeepRecordsIterator instantiation on small batch
> sizes with small messages after observing some performance bottlenecks in the
> consumer.
> For batch sizes of 1 with messages of 100 bytes, LZ4 heavily underperforms
> compared to Snappy (see benchmark below). Most of our time is currently spent
> allocating memory blocks in KafkaLZ4BlockInputStream, due to the fact that we
> default to larger 64kB block sizes. Some quick testing shows we could improve
> performance by almost an order of magnitude for small batches and messages if
> we re-used buffers between instantiations of the input stream.
