[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-989) Java: Improve Builder performance in Specific API

["Scott Carey (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-989?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13187366#comment-13187366 ] 

Scott Carey commented on AVRO-989:
----------------------------------

Overall looks good, but there is a test failure.

Running org.apache.avro.tool.TestSpecificCompilerTool
Tests run: 3, Failures: 2, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.708 sec <<< FAILURE!

This fails because it is expecting the old output from the specific compiler.  All other tests passed.

> The Specific API generates Builder objects for each record.  This builder uses a boolean[] to store flags for each field to indicate whether the field is set or not.
> This is not space efficient, a boolean[] takes 16 bytes plus one byte per field, rounded up to the nearest 8 byte interval. 
> This can be improved on by using BitSet for large records, and bitmasks on an int for records with less than 32 fields.
