Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-2400:
---------------------------------------
> Apache Kudu has a modified version of Status with various interesting
> tidbits, if interested you may have a look to tinker
> [https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/master/src/kudu/util/status.h]
Interesting. It doesn't seem conceptually different, except that they have
micro-optimized the state encoding, even though it's only used on error. I
don't think it's worth the effort.
> [C++] Status destructor is expensive

> Key: ARROW-2400
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2400
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Assignee: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 0.10.0
>
> Time Spent: 1h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Let's take the following micro-benchmark (in Python):
> {code:bash}
> $ python -m timeit -s "import pyarrow as pa; data = [b'xx' for i in
> range(10000)]" "pa.array(data, type=pa.binary())"
> 1000 loops, best of 3: 784 usec per loop
> {code}
> If I replace the Status destructor with a no-op:
> {code:c++}
> ~Status() { }
> {code}
> then the benchmark result becomes:
> {code:bash}
> $ python -m timeit -s "import pyarrow as pa; data = [b'xx' for i in
> range(10000)]" "pa.array(data, type=pa.binary())"
> 1000 loops, best of 3: 561 usec per loop
> {code}
> This is almost a 30% win. I get similar results on the conversion benchmarks
> in the benchmark suite.
> I'm unsure about the explanation. In the common case, {{delete _state}}
> should be extremely fast, since the state is NULL. Yet, it seems it adds
> significant overhead. Perhaps because of exception handling?
