Blazing Java Application Performance: Connector/J Performance Gems

In this session, the author of Connector/J, Mark Matthews, will show you how to wring that last little bit of performance out of your Java applications deployed on MySQL by not using the out-of-the-box configuration. Connector/J has nearly 200 configuration options, many of which affect performance. While these options are documented, many aren't shown alongside the use cases they apply to. Out of the box, Connector/J is configured with the principle of least surprise, and is JDBC-compliant, and provides a pretty genericized view of MySQL. Mark will show you how to move from generic to customized, illustrating how to set Connector/J options that will deliver the best performance for your specific application.

Topics covered will include:

• Load balancing and load splitting
• Bulk data loading
• Automatic Batch DML rewriting
• Configurations that approach the edge of safety, but that are useful for those few % points of performance

Mark gave this presentation in April of this year at the MySQL User's Conference. Following is a comment posted by one of the happy attendees: "Great session. Very helpful! I wish I had known this stuff years ago. Thanks!" Jens Wessling

Mark is the maintainer of MySQL’s JDBC driver, and is an architect for the MySQL Enterprise Tool team at Sun Microsystems. He is also author of The Book, "MySQL and Java Developer's Guide."
