send()
but retained thecloseChan
to signal the other parts of the tailer to shut down ASAP, otherwise we'd need to check the bool periodically using (for example)time.After
.Benchmark before thte change, using select-default:
Benchmark after the change, using atomic bool:
So this small change is nearly 10x faster and therefore would save ~18-20 cores worth of CPU time in our ops cluster.
