Alexandre Normand commented on AVRO-1268:
-----------------------------------------
There could be some impact in reading maps and arrays too in addition to
reading strings.
Your interpretation is correct except for the fact that you seemed to have
inverted the results. After my changes, FooBarSpecificRecordTestRead takes
40359ms where it took 35180ms before...therefore I would say my changes make it
16% slower. The GenericStringsRead is actually faster now.
Right now, my rough version stores states per schema in a map. There's a
potential additional performance gain in replacing that by a tree structure and
get rid of the cost of get/puts that map. That's the next thing I'm going to
look at.
Do you have an idea on what performance level would be considered acceptable?

> Stringable types are java classes that can be serialized through strings
> (which require a single string constructor and a valid toString()
> implementation). ReflectData currently has support from stringable types but
> it would be desirable to get this feature with SpecificData.
> The work involves changes to the SpecificCompiler (depends on {{@java-class}}
> support in AVRO-1267) to generate the specific sources with the proper java
> type as well as moving the ReflectDatumReader and ReflectDatumWriter to read
> the java-class/java-key-class and java-element-class properties.
