The current RoundRobinLoadBalance implementation performance is not satisfactory

See original GitHub issue
  • I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.
  • I have checked the FAQ of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Environment

  • Dubbo version: newest master and 2.5.3
  • Operating System version: mac
  • Java version: 1.8

Steps to reproduce this issue

Our company currently uses dubbo-2.5.3, LoadBalance chooses roundrobin. After the weight adjustment is made, the distribution of traffic is not in line with expectations. So I saw the implementation of RoundRobinLoadBalance of 2.5.3, which logically led to the distribution of traffic. Not in line with expectations, so I read the latest dubbo version of the implementation, found that the latest version of RoundRobinLoadBalance implementation traffic distribution is in line with expectations, but the performance is not satisfactory.

Test Code:

package com.manzhizhen.study.loadbalance;

import com.alibaba.dubbo.common.utils.AtomicPositiveInteger;
import com.alibaba.fastjson.JSON;

In the latest version of the RoundRobinLoadBalance implementation, a large number of for loops are used to do the minus one operation. This is not optimistic when the weight distribution is relatively large (hundreds of thousands of weights).

@kimmking The above implementation is also very bad when the greatest common divisor is 1. This performance will be much better. Help me to see if there are any problems. thx!

public class RoundRobinLoadBalance extends AbstractLoadBalance {

    public static final String NAME = "roundrobin";
