Node.orderBefore is slow
------------------------
Key: JCR-2033
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2033
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-core
Reporter: Thomas Mueller
Assignee: Thomas Mueller
Priority: Minor
Use case: I have a node with a medium number of child nodes, and want to sort
the child nodes. To do that, I use Node.orderBefore.
This is slow (31 seconds to sort 2000 child nodes), O(n^2).
Workarounds:
1) don't use that many child nodes
2) instead of using orderBefore, create a new node with the children in the
right order
Test case:
Session session = new TransientRepository().login(new SimpleCredentials("", new
char[0]));
Node root = session.getRootNode();
Node test = root.hasNode("test") ? root.getNode("test") : root.addNode("test");
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
int len = 2000;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
test.addNode("n" + i);
}
System.out.println("creating: " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start));
session.save();
start = System.currentTimeMillis();
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
test.orderBefore("n" + i, null);
}
System.out.println("sorted: " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start));
session.logout();
Output:
creating: 712
sorted: 31281
Possible solutions:
- speed up Node.orderBefore
- create a 'sorting tool' that uses the 'create new node' trick
- create a new (Jackrabbit internal) solution to sort quickly
