[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-15397) IntervalTree performance comparison with Linear Walk and Binary Search based Elimination.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15397?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17054782#comment-17054782 ]

bq. I couldn't do so since the code uses a generic that's comparable

The {{IntervalTree}} is used in precisely one place in the codebase, so it would be possible to hardcode to this use case for improved performance.

bq.  I'm not sure if assuming long will be a good idea

I would be very surprised if it is not significantly faster.  Particularly in tests that correctly account for memory latency (i.e. ensure the data is not entirely held in CPU cache before the test begins).

> Cassandra uses IntervalTrees to identify the SSTables that overlap with search interval. In Cassandra, IntervalTrees are not mutated. They are recreated each time a mutation is required. This can be an issue during repairs. In fact we noticed such issues during repair. 
> Since lists are cache friendly compared to linked lists and trees, I decided to compare the search performance with:
> * Linear Walk.
> * Elimination using Binary Search (idea is to eliminate intervals using start and end points of search interval). 
> Based on the tests I ran, I noticed Binary Search based elimination almost always performs similar to IntervalTree or out performs IntervalTree based search. The cost of IntervalTree construction is also substantial and produces lot of garbage during repairs. 
> I ran the tests using random intervals to build the tree/lists and another randomly generated search interval with 5000 iterations. I'm attaching all the relevant graphs. The x-axis in the graphs is the search interval coverage. 10p means the search interval covered 10% of the intervals. The y-axis is the time the search took in nanos. 
> PS: 
> # For the purpose of test, I simplified the IntervalTree by removing the data portion of the interval.  Modified the template version (Java generics) to a specialized version. 
> # I used the code from Cassandra version _3.11_.
> # Time in the graph is in nanos.
