[jira] [Created] (FLINK-4705) Instrument FixedLengthRecordSorter

Greg Hogan created FLINK-4705:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Instrument FixedLengthRecordSorter
                 Key: FLINK-4705
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4705
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Local Runtime
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
            Reporter: Greg Hogan
            Assignee: Greg Hogan


The {{NormalizedKeySorter}} sorts on the concatenation of (potentially partial) keys plus an 8-byte pointer to the record. After sorting each pointer must be dereferenced, which is not cache friendly.

The {{FixedLengthRecordSorter}} sorts on the concatentation of full keys followed by the remainder of the record. The records can then be deserialized in sequence.

Instrumenting the {{FixedLengthRecordSorter}} requires implementing the comparator methods {{writereadWithKeyNormalization}} and {{readWithKeyNormalization}}.

Testing {{JaccardIndex}} on an m4.16xlarge the scale 18 runtime dropped from 71.8 to 68.8 s (4.3% faster) and the scale 20 runtime dropped from 546.1 to 501.8 s (8.8% faster).
