> @orpiske @davsclaus I found an article dated to 2020 https://programmer.help/blogs/the-optimization-and-application-of-bit-operation-in-java.html Left shift gives some performance gain. My idea was to get as more performance as possible since Camel is a server software. Bit shifts are basis of computer science. If one doesn't know them, the sources of Camel can't help him/her. While, indeed, even ourselves do micro-optimizations from time to time, we usually try to favor the ones that improve readability (i.e.: like the ones yourself did replacing the `""` checks for `isEmpty()`). These micro-optimizations hardly have any meaningful result on how Camel performs: bottlenecks are more often than not elsewhere in the code. Ultimately, the reduced readability ends up affecting the maintainers more - as we'll take longer to understand the code in 1, 2 ... 3 months from now. When you have to deal with such a large code base, balancing things like these become just as important. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
