Benchmarking high performance java collection framework

I am an ultimate fan of java high performance framework or library. Java native collection framework always works with primitive wrapper class such as Integer, Float e.t.c. Boxing and unboxing of wrapper class to primitive data type always decrease the java execution performance. Most of us, always looking for such a library or framework to works with primitive data type in collections for increasing performance of Java application. Most of the time i uses javolution framework to get better performance, however, this holiday i have read about a few new java collections frameworks and decided to do some homework benchmarking to find out, how much they could better than Java native collection framework.
I have examine two new java collection framework, one of them are fastutil and another one are HPPC. For benchmarking i have used java JMH with mode Throughput. For benchmarking i took similar collection for java ArrayList, HashSet and HasMap from two above described frameworks.
Collections:
  1. ArrayList
  2. HashSet
  3. HashMap
Datatype:
Integer for Java native collection and int for HPPC and fastutils.
Host machine configuration:
OS: OSX El Capitan
CPU: 4
RAM: 16
HDD: SDD
JMH Configuration:
Fork: 10
iteration: 10
warm iteration: 10
Benchmark of List:
  1. Java native: ArrayList<Integer>
  2. FastUtil:it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.ints.IntArrayList
  3. HPPC:com.carrotsearch.hppc.IntArrayList
Number of elements: 10 000
Operations: add, retrieve by Iterator
Result of the benchmark is as follows:
it's obvious that FastUtil IntArrayList collection win with huge score. if you are wonder and decided that fastutil framework will always win the benchmark, you will be surprised. Lets examine another collections
Benchmark of Set:
  1. Java native: HashSet<Integer>
  2. FastUtil:it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.ints.IntSet
  3. HPPC:com.carrotsearch.hppc.IntHashSet
Number of elements: 10 000
Operations: put, retrieve by Iterator
Result of the benchmark is as follows:
Wonder!! me too, i have over checked the code. Java native HashSet wins over all other framework, very interesting the result of the fastutil score, it's only 89.
Benchmark of Map:
  1. Java native: HashMap<Integer>
  2. FastUtil:it.unimi.dsi.fastutil.ints.Int2IntArrayMap
  3. HPPC:com.carrotsearch.hppc.IntIntHashMap
Number of elements: 10 000
Operations: put, retrieve by Iterator
Result of the benchmark is as follows:
Similar score with Set, Java native Map is wining over other frameworks. Question is, why fastutil collection framework giving such a poor score? Answer of this question we will examine in next few blogs.

Tip: SQL client for Apache Ignite cache

A new SQL client configuration described in  The Apache Ignite book . If it got you interested, check out the rest of the book for more helpful information. Apache Ignite provides SQL queries execution on the caches, SQL syntax is an ANSI-99 compliant. Therefore, you can execute SQL queries against any caches from any SQL client which supports JDBC thin client. This section is for those, who feels comfortable with SQL rather than execute a bunch of code to retrieve data from the cache. Apache Ignite out of the box shipped with JDBC driver that allows you to connect to Ignite caches and retrieve distributed data from the cache using standard SQL queries. Rest of the section of this chapter will describe how to connect SQL IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to Ignite cache and executes some SQL queries to play with the data. SQL IDE or SQL editor can simplify the development process and allow you to get productive much quicker. Most database vendors have their own fron...

8 things every developer should know about the Apache Ignite caching

Any technology, no matter how advanced it is, will not be able to solve your problems if you implement it improperly. Caching, precisely when it comes to the use of a distributed caching, can only accelerate your application with the proper use and configurations of it. From this point of view, Apache Ignite is no different, and there are a few steps to consider before using it in the production environment. In this article, we describe various technics that can help you to plan and adequately use of Apache Ignite as cutting-edge caching technology. Do proper capacity planning before using Ignite cluster. Do paperwork for understanding the size of the cache, number of CPUs or how many JVMs will be required. Let’s assume that you are using Hibernate as an ORM in 10 application servers and wish to use Ignite as an L2 cache. Calculate the total memory usages and the number of Ignite nodes you have to need for maintaining your SLA. An incorrect number of the Ignite nodes can become a b...

Load balancing and fail over with scheduler

Every programmer at least develop one Scheduler or Job in their life time of programming. Nowadays writing or developing scheduler to get you job done is very simple, but when you are thinking about high availability or load balancing your scheduler or job it getting some tricky. Even more when you have a few instance of your scheduler but only one can be run at a time also need some tricks to done. A long time ago i used some data base table lock to achieved such a functionality as leader election. Around 2010 when Zookeeper comes into play, i always preferred to use Zookeeper to bring high availability and scalability. For using Zookeeper you have to need Zookeeper cluster with minimum 3 nodes and maintain the cluster. Our new customer denied to use such a open source product in their environment and i was definitely need to find something alternative. Definitely Quartz was the next choose. Quartz makes developing scheduler easy and simple. Quartz clustering feature brings the HA and...
