Minimize memory allocations, data copying, and expensive operations by implementing early exits, using move semantics, and choosing appropriate buffer management strategies.
Minimize memory allocations, data copying, and expensive operations by implementing early exits, using move semantics, and choosing appropriate buffer management strategies.
Key optimization strategies:
Example of early exit optimization:
// Instead of checking condition in loop
for (size_t row = 0; row < input_rows_count; ++row) {
dst_data[row] = filter ? filter->find(value.data, value.size) : true;
}
// Return early when filter is not found
if (!filter) {
auto dst = ColumnVector<UInt8>::create();
dst->getData().resize_fill(input_rows_count, 1);
return dst;
}
Example of avoiding unnecessary copying:
// Instead of copying buffer before send
message_transport->send(PostgreSQLProtocol::Messaging::CopyOutData(std::move(result_buf)));
// Then explicitly reinitialize if needed
result_buf = {};
These optimizations are particularly important in performance-critical paths where small improvements can have significant cumulative impact.
