------------------------------------

             Summary: SiteConfiguration gets invoked frequently and scans all configuration items
                 Key: ACCUMULO-3033
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3033
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.0
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser
             Fix For: 1.5.2, 1.6.1, 1.7.0


I noticed yesterday that {{SiteConfiguration#getProperties(Map, PropertyFilter)}} is invoked very frequently (at least 30 times a second on my single machine) to extract the Iterator configurations before a table scan happens. Printing a stack trace shows that this is the dominating caller of {{getProperties}} is {{IteratorUtil#parseIterConf()}}.

What this translates to is repeatedly reading, filtering and adding the same elements to a map to satisfy the {{AccumuloConfiguration#getPropertiesWithPrefix}} from an immutable source (accumulo-site.xml). While this is probably not a huge time waste in terms of actual time spent, it's repeatedly happening and will slow things down (especially when the underlying Hadoop Configuration is creating a new HashMap with the contents of the accumulo-site.xml for every call).

Need to think about some options for making the "extract keys with this prefix" case faster from SiteConfiguration.
