rschmitt opened a new pull request, #645:
URL: https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/pull/645
The HTTP client builders always construct a client with a non-null cookie
spec registry; if a custom instance is not specified, then the builders will
use `CookieSpecSupport.createDefault()`, which loads the full public suffix
list. The PSL rules are stored on the heap as a `ConcurrentHashMap`, i.e. a
giant array (16,384 on my machine) containing map entries, each of which is
also allocated as a separate object on the heap. This is a considerable number
of live objects that the garbage collector may need to trace. I ran a simple
microbenchmark to show the effects of loading the PSL on garbage collection
(these numbers are from JDK 1.8):
GC took 2 ms
GC took 2 ms
GC took 2 ms
Loading public suffix list... done (took 193 ms)
GC took 11 ms
GC took 8 ms
GC took 7 ms
This is potentially a significant amount of tail latency for use cases that
don't require cookie management, such as RPC calls. With this change, it is now
possible to configure and construct a client that does not load the PSL into
memory.
