After further testing it appears that while the original LongHashtable
has issues with object creation churn and is severly slower than even
java.util.HashMap in general case benchmarks it is in fact very efficient
for our use case.
With this in mind I wrote a replacement LongObjectHashMap modeled after
LongHashtable. Unlike the original implementation this one does not use
Entry objects for storage so does not have the same object creation churn.
It also uses a 2D array instead of a 3D one and does not use a cache as
benchmarking shows this is more efficient. The "bucket size" was chosen
based on benchmarking performance of the HashMap with contents that would
be plausible for a 200+ player server. This means it uses a little extra
memory for smaller servers but almost always uses less than the normal
java.util.HashMap.
To make up for the original LongHashtable being a poor choice for generic
datasets I added a mixer to the new implementation based on code from
MurmurHash. While this has no noticable effect positive or negative with
our normal use of chunk coordinates it makes the HashMap perform just as
well with nearly any kind of dataset.
After these changes ChunkProviderServer.isChunkLoaded() goes from using
20% CPU time while sampling to not even showing up after 45 minutes of
sampling due to the CPU usage being too low to be noticed.
This ArrayList duplicates part of the functionality of the much more
efficient chunk map so can be removed as the map can be used in the few
places this was needed.
- All StructureGrowEvent handling for these is in BlockSapling now, using a BlockChangeDelegate to collect the data.
- Moved StructureGrowDelegate into a separate class
We also teach CraftWorld how to explode an event, taken from
Explosion.a(boolean) (the code that breaks blocks and drops them on the ground).
The EnderDragon has a flag that slows it down when it hits unbreakable blocks:
Obsidian, White Stone or Bedrock. It might be useful to extend the event so that
plugins can set this.
Letting the API set the default yield for an explosion event has been
deprecated, so we now set the default yield using the appropriate constructor.
