Performance bottleneck in Jedis

I have had write a test program which using Jedis to read/write Redis Cluster. It create 32 threads and every thread init a instance of JedisCLuster(). But it will cost more than half minute to create total 32 JedisCluster Instances.
By tracking the problem, I found out that the bottleneck is in setNodeIfNotExist():

In the method setNodeIfNotExist() of class JedisClusterInfoCache, “new JedisPool()” will cost a lot of time because it will use apache commons pool and apache-commons-pool will register MBean Server with JMX. The register operation of JMX is the bottelneck.

The first solution for this problem is to disable JMX when calling JedisCluster():

The second solution is “create one JedisCluster() instance for all threads”. After I commited patch for Jedis to set JMX disable as default, Marcos Nils remind me that JedisCluster() is thread-safe, for it has using commons-pool to manage the connection resource.

From scala Array[String] / Seq[String] to java varargs

While testing performance of redis these days, I need to use mset() interface of jedis (a java version redis client). But the prototype of mset() in jedis is:

Firstly I write my scala code like:

But it report compiling errors:

After searching many documents about scala/java on google, I finally find the answer: http://docs.scala-lang.org/style/types.html. So, let’s write code this way:

Then Array[String] of scala changes to varargs in java now. It also viable for Seq[String].
