Optimizing the Pinning Process (cont.)
This evening I finished up the work I needed to do on the optimization of the Pinning process to use the indexed demand data, and I have to say that I'm very happy with the results. When I really dug into it, I was happy to realize that as long as I kept the complete set of matching criteria in the key, I would not have to do anything other than make the appropriate keys, look up and collect the data, and then unique it so as not to have any duplicates.
Thankfully, it wasn't really that hard. The key generation was pretty simple, and the collection and uniquing was not bad. In the end, a lot of code got thrown away because we simply weren't doing anything nearly as complicated as we had been doing, and that was great news!
I had to write a few tests on the indexing of the demand data, but that was to be expected, and once it was indexed, that was all I needed to be sure of.
It took me a while, but not too bad, and Liza and the girls were at a movie I didn't want to see, so it all really worked out.
Nice!
