Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-388:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks Zbynek. Don't worry about the coverage change, it goes up and down all
the time only dependent on which of the JDKs we use to build in Travis finishes
first (for some reason coverage seems to depend on the JDK, maybe the compiler
is performing some optimizations).
> Improve concurrent reads from ZipFile
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-388
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-388
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.13
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: Zbynek Vyskovsky
> Labels: patch, performance
> Fix For: 1.14
>
> Original Estimate: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 2h
>
> Concurrent reads on the ZipFile archive is terribly slow on multiprocessor
> systems. On my 4 CPU laptop it shows 26 reads/s vs 2 reads/s on 100MB samples
> for example.
> The cause is the use of synchronized blocks to access the underlying file
> channel. This may be required for generic SeekableByteChannel but most
> commonly there is FileChannel implementation which supports lock-free reading
> from any position (i.e. using pread/pwrite system calls or their equivalent).
> With the fix the performance is about 10 times faster (on 4 CPU system, with
> more processor the difference should grow significantly).
