[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-3174) Re-evaluate the CRC32 class performance.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3174?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15955113#comment-15955113 ] 

Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3174:
------------------------------------

We switched message format V2 to use CRC32C (see KAFKA-1449). It seems that the safest thing is not to change what we do for V0 and V1.

> Re-evaluate the CRC32 class performance.

> We used org.apache.kafka.common.utils.CRC32 in clients because it has better performance than java.util.zip.CRC32 in Java 1.6.
> In a recent test I ran it looks in Java 1.8 the CRC32 class is 2x as fast as the Crc32 class we are using now. We may want to re-evaluate the performance of Crc32 class and see it makes sense to simply use java CRC32 instead.
