Revision 36300fbbe3a7fde402152e4a57bbf5cda614d53c authored by Dmitri Smirnov on 01 February 2016, 21:14:37 UTC, committed by Dmitri Smirnov on 01 February 2016, 21:14:37 UTC
This change impacts only non-buffered I/O on Windows. Currently, there is a buffer per RandomAccessFile instance that is protected by a lock. The reason we maintain the buffer is non-buffered I/O requires an aligned buffer to work. XPerf traces demonstrate that we accumulate a considerable wait time while waiting for that lock. This change enables to set random access buffer size to zero which would indicate a per request allocation. We are expecting that allocation expense would be much less than I/O costs plus wait time due to the fact that the memory heap would tend to re-use page aligned allocations especially with the use of Jemalloc. This change does not affect buffer use as a read_ahead_buffer for compaction purposes.
