Significant performance degradation if Hibernate creates different order of
attributes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-3714
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3714
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Performance
Affects Versions: 10.4.1.3, 10.3.2.1
Environment: Windows XP with Java 6u5 (JavaDB de-installed!), various
hardware (single + dual core processors)
Reporter: Michael Gerz
Priority: Critical
In our project we use Derby 10.4.1.3 in combination with the latest Hibernate
Core 3.2.6.
When we migrated from Java 5 to 6, we noticed a huge performance hit.
After thorough analysis, we managed to pin down the problem to the order of the
attributes in a select statement created by Hibernate. The order seems to make
a huge impact on the performance, which is really strange.
A (very simplified) example of the problem is shown below. If more attributes
and more joins are added, the performance difference increases:
Bad Performance (5 result set entries in 3672ms) :
=======================================
select
logevent0_.clazz_ as clazz_ from (
select
nullif('x','x') as RECEIVER,
TEST_RUN_ID,
2 as clazz_ from USER_LOG_EVENT
union all select
RECEIVER,
TEST_RUN_ID,
4 as clazz_ from DATA_FLOW_LOG_EVENT )
logevent0_ where logevent0_.TEST_RUN_ID=?
Good Performance (5 entries in 610ms) :
=======================================
select
logevent0_.clazz_ as clazz_ from (
select
TEST_RUN_ID,
nullif('x','x') as RECEIVER,
2 as clazz_ from USER_LOG_EVENT
union all select
TEST_RUN_ID,
RECEIVER,
4 as clazz_ from DATA_FLOW_LOG_EVENT )
logevent0_ where logevent0_.TEST_RUN_ID=?
Table DATA_FLOW_LOG_EVENT has the attributes
TEST_RUN_ID BIGINT,
RECEIVER VARCHAR,...
wheras table USER_LOG_EVENT does NOT have the attribute RECEIVER.
As hibernate generates these select statements automatically, we are not able
the change the order of the attributes.
The real question is why there is such a difference in the execution speed, and
how to avoid this problem. (The complete query takes about 1-2sec in the fast
version, and more than 50sec in the slow version). This makes it impossible for
us to use Derby+Hibernate with Java 6!
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Michael
