Also, these shouldn't be asserts, but throw exceptions instead. (I think asserts are generally for internal consistency stuff, i.e., they should fire only when you have a bug, and not when some stuff that a user gave us is not in the right form.) > GSoC: Code Generation in Serializers > ------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-3599 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3599 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Type Serialization System > Reporter: Márton Balassi > Assignee: Gabor Horvath > Labels: gsoc2016, mentor > > The current implementation of the serializers can be a > performance bottleneck in some scenarios. These performance problems were > also reported on the mailing list recently [1]. > E.g. the PojoSerializer uses reflection for accessing the fields, which is > slow [2]. > For the complete proposal see [3]. > [1] > http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/Tuple-performance-and-the-curious-JIT-compiler-td10666.html > [2] > https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/api/java/typeutils/runtime/PojoSerializer.java#L369 > [3] > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VC8lCeErx9kI5lCMPiUn625PO0rxR-iKlVqtt3hkVnk -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
