Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-554:
---------------------------------------------
I agree that we should use System.arraycopy() in general. We should do some
benchmarks for this issue.
> BlockInfo.ensureCapacity may get a speedup from System.arraycopy()

> Key: HDFS-554
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-554
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: name-node
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> BlockInfo.ensureCapacity() uses a for() loop to copy the old array data into
> the expanded array. {{System.arraycopy()}} is generally much faster for
> this, as it can do a bulk memory copy. There is also the typesafe Java6
> {{Arrays.copyOf()}} to consider, though here it offers no tangible benefit.
