Arrays were used initially here because they are much more memory efficient than sets. Another reason was that I couldn't reproduce a case where linear complexity searches with
include?
would become problematic.However, with the process of synchronizing subscription parameters between worker processes, using
include?
on arrays has become a problem. With as little as several thousands of unique subscription identifiers, the time to connect can spike to several seconds.Using sets fixes the issue, and with the number of connections a standard server can handle, the memory difference is negligible.
