This is the java version of sparkey. It's not a binding, but a full reimplementation. See Sparkey for more documentation on how it works.

Travis

Continuous integration with travis.

Build Status

Dependencies

  • Java 6 or higher
  • Maven

Usage

Sparkey is meant to be used as a library embedded in other software.

To import it with maven, use this for Java 8 or higher:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.spotify.sparkey</groupId>
  <artifactId>sparkey</artifactId>
  <version>3.2.4</version>
</dependency>

Use this for Java 6 or 7:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.spotify.sparkey</groupId>
  <artifactId>sparkey</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.2</version>
</dependency>

To help get started, take a look at the API documentation or an example usage: SparkeyExample

Performance

This data is the direct output from running the benchmarks via IntelliJ, using the JMH plugin on a machine with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz

Random lookups

Here we see that performance goes down slightly as more elements are added. This is caused by:

  • More frequent CPU cache misses.
  • More page faults.

If you can mlock the full dataset, the performance should be more predictable.

Appending data

Benchmark                   (type)   Mode  Cnt         Score         Error  Units
AppendBenchmark.testMedium    NONE  thrpt    4   1595668.598 ±  850581.241  ops/s
AppendBenchmark.testMedium  SNAPPY  thrpt    4    919539.081 ±  205638.008  ops/s
AppendBenchmark.testSmall     NONE  thrpt    4   9800098.075 ±  707288.665  ops/s
AppendBenchmark.testSmall   SNAPPY  thrpt    4  20227222.636 ± 7567353.506  ops/s

This is mostly disk bound, CPU is not fully utilized. So even though Snappy uses more CPU, it's still faster because there's less data to write to disk, especially when the keys and values are small. (The score is number of appends, not amount of data, so this may be slightly misleading)

Writing hash file

WriteHashBenchmark.test             IN_MEMORY           1000    ss    4   0.003 ± 0.001   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test             IN_MEMORY          10000    ss    4   0.009 ± 0.016   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test             IN_MEMORY         100000    ss    4   0.035 ± 0.088   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test             IN_MEMORY        1000000    ss    4   0.273 ± 0.120   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test             IN_MEMORY       10000000    ss    4   4.862 ± 0.970   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test               SORTING           1000    ss    4   0.005 ± 0.033   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test               SORTING          10000    ss    4   0.014 ± 0.008   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test               SORTING         100000    ss    4   0.070 ± 0.111   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test               SORTING        1000000    ss    4   0.835 ± 0.310   s/op
WriteHashBenchmark.test               SORTING       10000000    ss    4  13.919 ± 1.908   s/op

Writing using the in-memory method is faster, but only works if you can keep the full hash file in memory while building it. Sorting is about 3x slower, but is more reliably for very large data sets.
