Bench marking of the simple and complex type of avro object by serlization and de-serilization

Avro Benchmarking

Performance testing of the simple type and complex type of avro object by serlization and de-serilization

Schema format using String type: { "namespace": "example.avro", "type": "record", "name": "Message", "fields": [ {"name": "header", "type": "string"}, {"name": "payload", "type": "string"} ] }

Schema format using map type:

{ "namespace": "example.avro", "type": "record", "name": "Message_map", "fields": [ { "name": "map", "type": { "type": "map", "values":"string" } } ] }

Result:

Benchamrk Summary - String type [825ms] { #tests: 1000 #repetitions: 1

64 bytes payload:
     mean_time[μs]: 151.84833899999873
  size_of_msg[bytes]: 4.0

}

Benchamrk Summary - Map type [777ms] { #tests: 1000 #repetitions: 1

64 bytes payload:
     mean_time[μs]: 141.17873400000133
  size_of_msg[bytes]: 6.0

}

Conclusion:

Simple type (String) takes less bytes and less processing time to serialiaze and deserialize it as compared to complex type(Map) in avro.
