Stefan Richter created FLINK-4942: ------------------------------------- Summary: Improve processing performance of HeapInternalTimerService with key groups Key: FLINK-4942 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4942 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Stefan Richter
Currently, key groups awareness in `HeapInternalTimerService` is basically implemented as (hash) map of (hash) sets. Purpose of this is grouping key groups together in a way that allows easy serialization into key groups. However, this data layout comes along with some significant performance decrease, in particular when the number of key groups is high. I suggest to keep all timers in one set again at runtime, thus being as fast as in previous versions without key groups. Instead, we can perform a very fast online partitioning into key groups before a snapshot. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
