Benjamin Jakobus commented on HIVE-5019: ---------------------------------------- Yes Navis - you're right. It should be StringBuilder. StringBuffer is synchronized. Yes, they do mostly replace + with StringBuilder.append(). However this is not always the case it seems. I ran some tests and they showed that using the StringBuilder when appending strings is 57% faster than using the + operator (using the StringBuffer took 122 milliseconds whilst the + operator took 284 milliseconds). Bt yes, since + gets translated building complex strings inside loops will require many (unnecessary) instantiations (and as discussed in 5009, creating new objects inside loops is inefficient). > Use StringBuffer instead of += (issue 1) > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5019 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5019 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Benjamin Jakobus > Assignee: Benjamin Jakobus > Fix For: 0.12.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-5019.1.patch.txt, HIVE-5019.2.patch.txt > > > Issue 1 (use of StringBuffer over +=) > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/optimizer/physical/GenMRSkewJoinProcessor.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/optimizer/ppr/PartitionPruner.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/PTFTranslator.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/SemanticAnalyzer.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/SemanticAnalyzer.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/plan/ConditionalResolverMergeFiles.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/plan/PlanUtils.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/security/authorization/BitSetCheckedAuthorizationProvider.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/stats/jdbc/JDBCStatsUtils.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/UDFLike.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDFSentences.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/NumDistinctValueEstimator.java > java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/ptf/NPath.java -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
