             Summary: Poor performance and timeout failure with BIND in nested 
OPTIONALs
                 Key: JENA-885
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-885
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: Jena 2.11.2
            Reporter: Mark Buquor


There appears to be a performance issue with BIND when used inside nested 
OPTIONALs. Affected queries fail to time out.

The following patterns appear to be affected:
OPTIONAL { ... OPTIONAL { ... BIND ( ... ) } }
OPTIONAL { ... OPTIONAL { ... } BIND ( ... ) }

The following patterns appear to be unaffected:
OPTIONAL { ... OPTIONAL { ... } } BIND ( ... )
OPTIONAL { ...  BIND ( ... ) }
OPTIONAL { ... } BIND ( ... )

So far, users have been able to work around the performance issue by rewriting 
their queries. However, the timeout failure is still a significant reliability 
issue, since affected queries consume resources and can run indefinitely. I've 
attached a testcase that exhibits the performance and timeout problems. 
Reproduced with a recent 2.13.0-SNAPSHOT build.

Execution Timeout (ms): 30000

Query: PREFIX ex: <http://example.com/> SELECT ?s ?valueA { OPTIONAL { ?s 
ex:propA ?a . OPTIONAL { ?a ex:label ?labelA . } } BIND ( IF ( BOUND (?labelA), 
?labelA, ?a) as ?valueA) }
Execution time (ms): 586
Execution time (ms): 143

Query: PREFIX ex: <http://example.com/> SELECT ?s ?valueA { OPTIONAL { ?s 
ex:propA ?a . OPTIONAL { ?a ex:label ?labelA . } BIND ( IF ( BOUND (?labelA), 
?labelA, ?a) as ?valueA) } }
Execution time (ms): 110922
Execution time (ms): 41004
