Resolution: Fixed
> Reduce object creation in NGramCharModel and StringUtil
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OPENNLP-1505
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-1505
> Project: OpenNLP
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Language Detector
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Martin Wiesner
> Assignee: Martin Wiesner
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.3.0
>
>
> During a profiling session, I noticed that many tests in
> opennlp.tools.langdetect take quite some time for execution. Digging deeper
> into those tests, it quickly became obvious that StringUtil#toLowerCase() was
> creating new Strings for every call of this method (see
> NGramCharModel#add(...) lines 99 to 108.
> Being called in NGramCharModel quite frequently, this resulted in creation of
> millions of String objects during building ngrams for given input.
> Aims:
> * Reduce objection creation and thus creation of millions of string objects
> * Improve runtime of the langdetect tests (and potentially others)
> Idea:
> * Use (Heap)CharBuffer instead of String so that underlying char arrays can
> be re-used, instead of copying the chars over to a new string for each
> "toLowerCase"...
> Note:
> * A corresponding patch / PR should be tested with/against the Evaluation
> suite.
> Comments welcome.
