Andy Seaborne closed JENA-237. ------------------------------ > Quad is mutable > --------------- > > Key: JENA-237 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-237 > Project: Apache Jena > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: ARQ > Reporter: Stephen Allen > Assignee: Stephen Allen > Priority: Minor > Attachments: JENA-237 - Immutable Quad.patch > > > I notice that Quad is a mutable object, specifically it lazily caches the > call of asTriple(). It seems that we can eliminate this caching and make > Quad an immutable object. > Benefits: > - It's really cheap to create a new Triple object on each call to asTriple() > - Reduce the memory footprint of Quad objects by eliminating at least a > pointer, and potentially a pointer and a whole Triple object > - Makes Quad thread-safe > I didn't just make the change because I didn't know if there was a reason for > the current situation.
