Let me put the question in another way. Companies like Twitter they use Protocol Buffer as their serialization tool. It seems to have better performance. Is there any compelling reason that Avro can do and Protocol Buffer cannot ? Thanks. Ey-Chih
From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: improve performance of avro map reduce jobs Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:55:58 -0700 Our Map/Reduce jobs are all based on avro. We would like to enhance their performance. The objects collected in our mappers and reducers are mainly of the type GenericData.Record. Currently, most of jobs are CPU, rather than IO, bound. Can anybody suggest ways to improve the performance of the jobs? Thanks a lot. Ey-Chih Chow
