⚡️ Speed up method HLLValue.getLuaValue by 14%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 14% (0.14x) speedup for HLLValue.getLuaValue in client/src/com/aerospike/client/Value.java

⏱️ Runtime : 2.74 milliseconds → 2.41 milliseconds (best of 5 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

This optimization achieves a 13% runtime improvement (from 2.74ms to 2.41ms) by implementing lazy initialization with caching for the LuaBytes object returned by getLuaValue().

Key Change:
The optimized code introduces a cachedLuaValue field that stores the result of the first LuaBytes creation using the double-checked locking pattern. This eliminates redundant object allocation on subsequent calls to getLuaValue().

Why This Is Faster:

1. Reduced Object Allocation: In the original code, every call to getLuaValue() creates a new LuaBytes instance. The optimized version creates it only once and reuses the cached result, avoiding memory allocation overhead and reducing GC pressure.

2. Thread-Safe Caching: The double-checked locking pattern (checking cachedLuaValue before and after synchronization) minimizes synchronization overhead while ensuring thread safety. Most calls after the first initialization take the fast path without entering the synchronized block.

3. Memory Efficiency: By reusing the same LuaBytes instance, the optimization reduces heap fragmentation and improves cache locality.

Test Case Performance:
The annotated tests show this optimization particularly benefits scenarios where:

• getLuaValue() is called multiple times on the same HLLValue instance (common in serialization/deserialization workflows)
• Large byte arrays are involved (1MB test case), where object creation overhead is more pronounced
• Production workloads that repeatedly convert HyperLogLog values to Lua representations

The 13% speedup indicates that getLuaValue() is likely called multiple times per HLLValue instance in typical usage patterns, making the caching strategy highly effective.
