This change was done to remove the internal sound names from the API.
Along with moving the internal names into CraftBukkit, a unit test was
added for any new sounds added in the API to assure they have a non-null
mapping.
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.
The new setting is located at "ticks-per.autosave". By changing this
value, it affects how often a full save is automatically executed,
measured in ticks.
This value is defaulting to 0 (off) because we believe that the vast
majority of servers already have a third-party solution to automatically
saving the server at set intervals. Having the built in auto-save disabled
by default ensures that we are not saving things twice; doing so leads to
absolutely no benefits, but results in detrimental and noticeable
unnecessary performance decrease.
For servers that do not use an automated external script to perform saves,
this setting can be turned on by setting the value higher than 0, with 900
being the value used in vanilla.
Refactoring dependencies 'changes' the string literal in the code. This
commit changes the literal to instead use a char[] to initialize a new
String. On a bytecode level, there will not exist a String literal for these
two values; the shade plugin will no longer refactor them.
Refactoring jline also changes the other String literals we use for
notifying jline of the current state. To insure that our local code reflects
the inner logic in jline, the key value was changed to the static final
variable located in TerminalFactory. Likewise, UnsupportedTerminal uses the
explicit class name (as reflection is used later with the value that has
been set).
Async tasks are notorious for causing CMEs and corrupted data when
accessing the API. This change makes a linked list to track recent tasks
that may no longer be running. It is accessed via the toString method on
the scheduler. This behavior is not guaranteed, but it is accessible as
such currently.
Although toString is located in the scheduler, its contract does not
guarantee an accurate or up to date call when accessed from a second
thread.
When 1.3.1 was released, a try-catch block was removed from the tick
loop that called the method in NMS to handle commands. This restores a
try-catch to prevent the console from crashing the server.
Previously, the timeout would erroneously get converted to milliseconds
twice. The second conversion was removed.
Spurious wakeups were not handled properly, and would instead throw a
TimeoutException even if the waited time was not reached..
The new scheduler uses a non-blocking methodology. Combining volatile
references to make a linked reference chain, with the atomic reference
handling the tail, tasks are queued without waiting for locks. The main
thread will no longer limit the length of time spend for scheduled tasks,
but no task will run twice in the same tick. Scheduling a new task inside of
a synchronous task will always run the new task during the same tick,
assuming there is no supplied delay > 0.
Asynchronous tasks are now run using a thread pool. Any thread-local
implemenation should now account for threads being reused between
executions.
Race conditions were carefully examined and the order of logic is now very
important. Each task is placed in a secondary collection before removal from
primary collections. Thus, by reading tasks from the collections in the same
order they travel, it retains state-safety. This does make modifications
less responsive in some situations, as the task may be transitioning before
the modifier accesses it. This cost outweighs the requirement to synchronize
on the scheduler; previously any conflict would be first-come-first-serve,
with the main thread backing out arbitrarily.
Many codepaths only end up with one iterator being used at a time and
most of the rest only get up to two being used so using a static pool of
three is wasteful. This also allows us to efficiently handle cases that
exceed 3 iterators in use. Overall this dramatically increases the hit rate
and results in less iterators being created.
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.
Replace uses of LongHashtable and LongHashset with new implementations.
Remove EntryBase, LongBaseHashtable, LongHashset, and LongHashtable as they
are no longer used.
LongObjectHashMap does not use Entry or EntryBase classes internally for
storage so has much lower object churn and greater performance. LongHashSet
is not as much of performance win for our use case but for general use is
up to seventeen times faster than the old implementation and is in fact
faster than alternatives from "high performance" java libraries. This is
being added so that if someone tries to use it in the future in a place
unrelated to its current use they don't accidentally end up with something
slower than the Java collections HashSet implementation.
They can spawn any valid entities now. What is a "valid" entity? A "valid" entity is an EntityType with a non-null getName(). (for example: PRIMED_TNT, FALLING_BLOCK)
Added two utility collections for use with PlayerChatEvents allowing lazier
initialization of events and less need to synchronize against the player
list.
Provided a hidden queue system for similar logic to pre-1.3 chat. When a
plugin is listening for the deprecated PlayerChatEvent, all chat will be
delayed to be mirror executed from the main thread. All developers are
encouraged to immediately update to the developmental Bukkit chat API as a
minimum transition for server stability.
Additionally, changes were required to bring thread-safety to the flow
logic. CopyOnWriteArrayList is the only viable means to produce thread
safety with minimal diff; using a sane pre-implemented collection would
require reworking of sections of NMS logic.
As a minor change, implemented expected functionality for
PlayerCommandPreProcessEvent. Setting the player should now change the
player executing the command.
This allows previous causes to be available during the event, as well as making the damage cause a valid one. If EntityDamageEvent is canceled, then it's not the last DamageCause.
Also prevents setting DamageCause involuntarily through construction.
