This code comes from svn/asterisk/team/russell/event_performance/.
Here is a summary of the changes that have been made, in order of both
invasiveness and performance impact, from smallest to largest.
1) Asterisk 1.6.1 introduces some additional logic to be able to handle
distributed device state. This functionality comes at a cost.
One relatively minor change in this patch is that the extra processing
required for distributed device state is now completely bypassed if
it's not needed.
2) One of the things that I noticed when profiling this code was that a
_lot_ of time was spent doing string comparisons. I changed the way
strings are represented in an event to include a hash value at the front.
So, before doing a string comparison, we do an integer comparison on the
hash.
3) Finally, the code that handles the event cache has been re-written.
I tried to do this in a such a way that it had minimal impact on the API.
I did have to change one API call, though - ast_event_queue_and_cache().
However, the way it works now is nicer, IMO. Each type of event that
can be cached (MWI, device state) has its own hash table and rules for
hashing and comparing objects. This by far made the biggest impact on
performance.
For additional details regarding this code and how it was tested, please see the
review request.

This work is done by lmadsen, junky and mvanbaak
during AstriDevCon.
This is the second audit the CLI got, and
this time lmadsen made sure he had _ALL_ modules
loaded that have CLI commands in them.

After working on the ao2_containers branch, I noticed
something a bit strange. In all cases where we provide
a callback function to ao2_container_alloc, the callback
function would only return 0 or CMP_MATCH. After inspecting
the ao2_callback() code carefully, I found that if you're
only looking for one specific item, then you should return
CMP_MATCH | CMP_STOP. Otherwise, astobj2 will continue
traversing the current bucket until the end searching for
more matches.
In cases like chan_iax2 where in 1.4, all the peers are
shoved into a single bucket, this makes for potentially
terrible performance since the entire bucket will be
traversed even if the peer is one of the first ones come
across in the bucket.
All the changes I have made were for cases where the
callback function defined was passed to ao2_container_alloc
so that calls to ao2_find could find a unique instance
of whatever object was being stored in the container.

This commit merges in the rest of the code needed to support distributed device
state. There are two main parts to this commit.
Core changes:
- The device state handling in the core has been updated to understand device
state across a cluster of Asterisk servers. Every time the state of a device
changes, it looks at all of the device states on each node, and determines the
aggregate device state. That resulting device state is what is provided to
modules in Asterisk that take actions based on the state of a device.
New module, res_ais:
- A module has been written to facilitate the communication of events between
nodes in a cluster of Asterisk servers. This module uses the SAForum AIS
(Service Availability Forum Application Interface Specification) CLM and EVT
services (Cluster Management and Event) to handle this task. This module
currently supports sharing Voicemail MWI (Message Waiting Indication) and
device state events between servers. It has been tested with openais, though
other implementations of the spec do exist.
For more information on testing distributed device state, see the following doc:
