                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2343
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce

consecutive replace() is called to remove the special characters.  It's 5+ times slower than using a for loop replace them all.
{noformat}
e.g.
 - str.replace('a', '|');
 - str.replace('b', '|');

 + StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder( str.length() );
 + for (int i=0; i < str.length(); i++)
 +  {
 +           char c = str.charAt(i);
 +         if ( c == 'a'  || c =='b' )
 +               sb.append('|');
 +       else
 +                sb.append('c');
 +  }
 +  str  = sb.toString();
