[jira] [Updated] (TIKA-1149) Improve parser lookup performance
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1149?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Jukka Zitting updated TIKA-1149:
--------------------------------
Summary: Improve parser lookup performance (was: 12% performance improvement by caching in CompositeParser)
> Improve parser lookup performance
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-1149
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1149
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.3, 1.4
> Reporter: Luca Della Toffola
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: performance
> Attachments: CompositeParser.patch, ParseContext.patch
>
>
> We found an easy way to improve Tika's performance. The idea is to avoid recomputing parsers map over and over
> in CompositeParser.getParsers(...) if the context is empty and to cache the returned value instead.
> This can be done safely even under the assumption that the media-registry and the list of component parsers do change while Tika is executing, by invalidating the cache in the case.
> Our attached patch computes the parsers map once per instance of CompositeParser.
> The patch checks for the case where the context is empty and invalidates the cache if both media-registry and the list of component parsers change in the corresponding setters.
> For example, when running Tika 1.3 on a set of large (~50k classes) JAR files (i.e., Java class library + Tika app + other apps), the patch reduces the running time
> from 32 seconds to 29 seconds -- i.e., a speedup of ~12%. Speedups of the same order of magnitude are found also for smaller workloads.
