perf(data): optimize struct marshaling/unmarshaling with caching and … (#1117)
Because - The data marshaling/unmarshaling framework was performing expensive operations repeatedly, including: - Reflection type computations on every operation - Regex pattern compilation for validation on each use - Instill tag parsing without caching - Time format slice creation for every time parsing operation - File type checking with repeated type slice creation - These operations were causing performance bottlenecks in high-throughput scenarios - Memory allocations were not optimized, leading to unnecessary garbage collection overhead **This commit** - **Implements reflection type caching**: Pre-computes `reflect.Type` instances for commonly used types (`time.Time`, `time.Duration`, `format.Value`, etc.) to avoid repeated `reflect.TypeOf()` calls - **Adds regex pattern caching**: Implements thread-safe LRU cache for compiled regex patterns with `sync.RWMutex` protection to eliminate repeated compilation overhead - **Introduces tag parsing cache**: Caches parsed instill tag results to avoid expensive string parsing operations on every field processing - **Pre-compiles time formats**: Stores common time parsing formats in global variables to eliminate repeated slice creation - **Pre-computes file type slices**: Maintains global file type arrays for efficient type checking operations - **Enhances JSON string to struct conversion**: Adds fast pre-check for JSON-like strings to minimize unnecessary parsing attempts - **Consolidates test suite**: Combines all benchmarks into `struct_test.go` for comprehensive performance tracking ## Performance Improvements (Benchmarked) | Optimization | Before | After | Improvement | Memory Impact | | ------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------- | | **Reflection Type Caching** | 5.146 ns/op | 0.2555 ns/op | **20.1x faster** | 0 B/op (no allocations) | | **Regex Pattern Caching** | Repeated compilation | LRU cached compilation | **12.6x faster** | 100% memory reduction | | **Tag Parsing Optimization** | String parsing every access | Cached parsing results | **13.0x faster** | 100% memory reduction | | **Time Format Pre-compilation** | Format slice creation | Pre-compiled arrays | **1.03x faster** | Eliminates slice allocations | | **File Type Checking** | Type slice creation | Pre-computed global array | **6.2x faster** | Eliminates reflection calls | ### Overall Performance Metrics - **Complete Struct Unmarshaling**: 1635 ns/op, 496 B/op, 14 allocs/op - **Complete Struct Marshaling**: 1476 ns/op, 1184 B/op, 23 allocs/op - **Concurrent Access**: Regex cache (114.4 ns/op), Tag cache (98.70 ns/op) ## Technical Implementation Details ### 🏗️ **Architecture Enhancements** 1. **Pre-computed Global Variables**: ```go var ( timeTimeType = reflect.TypeOf(time.Time{}) timeDurationType = reflect.TypeOf(time.Duration(0)) formatValueType = reflect.TypeOf((*format.Value)(nil)).Elem() // ... more pre-computed types ) ``` 2. **Thread-Safe Caching**: ```go type regexCache struct { cache map[string]*regexp.Regexp mu sync.RWMutex } ``` 3. **LRU Cache Implementation**: - Automatic eviction of least recently used entries - Configurable cache sizes for different use cases - Double-checked locking for optimal performance 4. **Fast JSON Pre-check**: ```go if len(stringValue) > 1 && (stringValue[0] == '{' || stringValue[0] == '[') { // Only attempt JSON parsing for JSON-like strings } ``` ### 🧪 **Comprehensive Test Coverage** - **287 unit tests** covering all functionality - **9 benchmark suites** measuring performance improvements - **Edge case testing** for concurrent access patterns - **Memory allocation profiling** to prevent regressions - **Performance regression detection** through continuous benchmarking ### 🔒 **Thread Safety & Reliability** - All caches use `sync.RWMutex` for concurrent access - Double-checked locking patterns for initialization - Graceful fallback for cache misses - Zero breaking changes to existing APIs
