>
> Record Readers and writers use the DataTypeUtils class to coerce an object of
> one type to another type. Often, these methods are called with a
> Supplier<DateFormat> to avoid creating DateFormat objects when not necessary.
> However, the Supplier is typically created inline with a lambda when it
> doesn't need to be, and this creates significant pressure on the garbage
> collector.
> Also, the JSON Reader performs a significant amount of string concatenation
> when it encounters a Map, in order to generate the field name including the
> Map Key. This is done only so that the map key is included in the error
> message if one occurs. However, I think this should be avoided, since the
> error message already indicates the name of the map field and the value that
> could not be coerced. Avoiding the concatenation there will cut down
> significantly on GC pressure, as evidenced by object creation profiling.
