Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-110: ------------------------------------ for arrays with 128K elements and less it uses 1.5; we could potentially implement a similar strategy, once we write enough benchmarks to measure an impact on making lots of medium-ish arrays https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/FBVector.h#L1141 > [C++] Decide on optimal growth factor when appending to buffers/arrays > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-110 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-110 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Bug > Components: C++ > Reporter: Micah Kornfield > > There is some evidence that powers of 2 might not be optimal (the facebook > folly library suggests this in there explanation of why they have there own > vector type). They use 1.5 (as do other implementations that don't use two). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
