BELUGA BEHR commented on HBASE-19684:
-------------------------------------
[~Apache9] Thanks for the review. :)
While I admit that it is easier to read an implementation with StringBuilder,
but in my micro-bench-marking, I found that the concat implementation was
faster. This was a little surprising, but StringBuilder class has to do some
additional work around ensuring the size of its internal buffer, including null
checks, even if it doesn't change the size of the buffer. In addition, the
default buffer size for StringBuffer is 16 and it is possible that a Long could
be [up to 19 characters
long|http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/8u40-b25/java/lang/Long.java#Long.stringSize%28long%29],
so it may have to resize the buffer and copy contents, etc. The concat
implementation is therefore more predictable in performance, as it will always
perform the same steps regardless of sizes.

> I found through bench-marking that the following code is 10x faster.

> Normally it wouldn't matter for a _toString()_ method, but this is comes into
> play because {{MemcachedBlockCache}} uses it.
