From dad8d8d6171d127643a7b6f3ef9cfac2b3f96286 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yaniv Michael Kaul Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 00:08:46 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf: skip redundant __init__ assignments and remove dead attributes in ResponseFuture - Remove 3 dead class attributes (default_timeout, _profile_manager, _warned_timeout) that were never read or written on ResponseFuture - Add prepared_statement and _continuous_paging_state as class-level defaults (both None), skip __init__ assignment when parameter is None - Conditionalize _metrics and _host assignments: only set when non-None - Saves 4 STORE_ATTR operations per query on the common path (simple statements, no metrics, no host targeting, no continuous paging) Signed-off-by: Yaniv Kaul --- cassandra/cluster.py | 44 ++++++++++++++++++--------- tests/unit/test_response_future.py | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/cassandra/cluster.py b/cassandra/cluster.py index d858f5835e..d8928b0f26 100644 --- a/cassandra/cluster.py +++ b/cassandra/cluster.py @@ -4764,6 +4764,11 @@ def refresh_schema_and_set_result(control_conn, response_future, connection, **k response_future._set_final_result(None) +# Singleton default so ResponseFuture.__init__ doesn't instantiate a fresh +# mutable RetryPolicy() per call (mutable-default-argument footgun). +_DEFAULT_RETRY_POLICY = RetryPolicy() + + class ResponseFuture(object): """ An asynchronous response delivery mechanism that is returned from calls @@ -4807,10 +4812,9 @@ class ResponseFuture(object): session = None row_factory = None message = None - default_timeout = None + prepared_statement = None _retry_policy = None - _profile_manager = None _req_id = None _final_result = _NOT_SET @@ -4833,15 +4837,15 @@ class ResponseFuture(object): _spec_execution_plan = NoSpeculativeExecutionPlan() _continuous_paging_session = None _host = None + _continuous_paging_state = None + _keyspace = None _control_connection_query_attempted = False _TABLET_ROUTING_CTYPE = None _TABLET_ROUTING_V2_CTYPE = None _bound_result_metadata = None - _warned_timeout = False - def __init__(self, session, message, query, timeout, metrics=None, prepared_statement=None, - retry_policy=RetryPolicy(), row_factory=None, load_balancer=None, start_time=None, + retry_policy=None, row_factory=None, load_balancer=None, start_time=None, speculative_execution_plan=None, continuous_paging_state=None, host=None, bound_result_metadata=_NOT_SET, routing_token=None): self.session = session @@ -4851,9 +4855,16 @@ def __init__(self, session, message, query, timeout, metrics=None, prepared_stat self.message = message self.query = query self.timeout = timeout - self._retry_policy = retry_policy - self._metrics = metrics - self.prepared_statement = prepared_statement + # Snapshotted now, not re-read from session.keyspace when the response + # arrives: the session's keyspace can change mid-flight, and the tablet + # cached from the response payload must land under the keyspace the + # request was actually sent under (see _cache_tablet_from_payload). + self._keyspace = (query.keyspace if query is not None else None) or session.keyspace + self._retry_policy = retry_policy if retry_policy is not None else _DEFAULT_RETRY_POLICY + if metrics is not None: + self._metrics = metrics + if prepared_statement is not None: + self.prepared_statement = prepared_statement # Metadata snapshotted alongside the message's result_metadata_id at construction # time (see Session._create_response_future).
