[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-1331) Digest: remove low seqno
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1331?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin....

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1331:
--------------------------------
Digest actually consists of a ConcurrentHashMap of senders (Address) and
(low,high_recv,high_del) entries (Entry).
The ConcurrentHashMap is (1) absolutely not necessary, as Entry is immutable and (2)
overkill as it adds to the size of a Digest in memory !
SOLUTION: replace ConcurrentHashMap with something more specific and less memory hungry,
e.g. similar to org.jgroups.util.Headers. Even a HashMap would be less memory hungry than
a ConcurrentHashMap !
Digest: remove low seqno
------------------------
Key: JGRP-1331
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1331
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.1
We don't need Digest.Entry.low_seqno for NakReceiverWindow anymore. We only need it
for the Retransmitter implementations. If we can remove that last dependency, e.g. by
storing the last seqno removed from a retransmitter, we can remove low_seqno from a
digest. This is significant, for example if we have 100 nodes, a digest includes 300
longs:(low+highest_received+highest_delivered) * 100. If we remove low_seqno, we only have
200 longs. (These will still be further compressed in a different JIRA).
This is important for large clusters, to reduce the size of STABLE messages and views.
