             Summary: FILTER(?x IN ( .... )) causes stackoverflow for very long 
lists of values.
                 Key: JENA-1113
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1113
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ARQ
    Affects Versions: Jena 3.0.1
            Reporter: Andy Seaborne
            Assignee: Andy Seaborne


{{FILTER(?x IN ( .... ))}} with a list of 60,000+ URIs causes a stack overflow 
during execution. The list was machine generated.

{{?x IN(C1, C2, ...}} is expanded to {{?x = C1 || ?x = C2 ||  .... }}. In many 
places, working with expressions is a tree walk ({{ExprWalker}}).

The transformation is a left-deep tree: for a 4-long list:

{noformat}
(||
 (||
  (|| (= ?x C1)
      (= ?x C2))
  (= ?x C3))
 (= ?x C4))
{noformat}
so the walk is as deep as the list is long.  A transformation rewrite is 3 
stack frames per level.  The result is a huge number of stack frames until is 
exceeds the stack space available.

A right-deep list would be better but only if all processing code is aware of 
this and does a loop for the right recursion.
