             Summary: Performance improvement of Cassandra UDF/UDA
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13904
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13904

          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CQL

            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 3.11.x


Hi All,

We have made a few experiments and found that running query with direct UDF execution is ten time more faster than the async UDF execution. The in-line comment: "Using async UDF execution is expensive (adds about 100us overhead per invocation on a Core-i7 MBPr)” https://insight.io/github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/cql3/functions/UDFunction.java?line=293 show that this is a known behavior.  My questions are as below:

1. What are the main pros and cons of these two methods? Can I find any documents that discuss this?  

2. Are there any plans to improve the performance of using async UDF? A simple way come to my mind is to use some sort of batch method, e.g., replace current row by row method with some rows by some rows. Are there any concerns on this?

3. How people solve this performance issue in general? It seems this performance issue is not an urgent or an important issue to solve because it is known and it is still there. Therefore people must have some sort of good solution solving this issue. 

I really appreciate your comments in advance.

Best regards,

Xin
