Miklos Erdelyi commented on HAMA-380:
-------------------------------------

* You're right that caching constructors minimizes the time needed to 
instantiate classes. Thanks for adding this!
* However, in the BSP model there is no guarantee to the order of received 
messages so you cannot make assumptions like 'receive 1 Foo class then receive 
3 Bar classes'. That is why I originally didn't deal with the situation where 
mixed classes might be added to a BSPMessageBundle.
* From a design point of view, you can always embed different message classes 
into one container message class so the simpler solution (i.e., to support 
buffering instances of only one class in a bundle) still works.

> Send messages in batches to reduce RPC overhead.

> When profiling graph computations running on HAMA it turned out that huge 
> amount of time is spent in RPC calls.
> To reduce this overhead I propose extending the GroomServer's API with a 
> put(BSPMessageBundle) method so that a group of messages can be transferred 
> from the caller to the callee at once. Also, the sync() operation should be 
> improved by sending messages in batches rather than one-by-one.
> Using BSPMessageBundle makes it easier to add support for compression of 
> messages later.
