Ron Bodkin commented on HADOOP-1017: ------------------------------------ I'd be glad to remove the public API: I certainly appreciate the desire to avoid that complexity, or let me know if you'd rather do so. If I do so, I'll make the additional methods package default access to allow the tests. > Optimization: Reduce Overhead from ReflectionUtils.newInstance > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1017 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1017 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: util > Reporter: Ron Bodkin > Attachments: ReflectionUtils.patch.txt, TestReflectionUtils.java > > > I found that a significant amount of time on my project was being spent in > creating constructors for each row of data. I dramatically optimized this > performance by creating a simple WeakHashMap to cache constructors by class. > For example, in a sample job I find that ReflectionUtils.newInstance takes > 200 ms (2% of total) with the cache enabled, but it uses 900 ms (6% of total) > without the cache. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
