Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-10899:
------------------------------------------
Memory consumption is one thing - that can most likely be solved - but change
in behaviour is risky. I'm pretty sure that there will be users of Sling which
expect that two calls to getResource on the same resolver with the same path
return two different objects. And I'm also sure the same is true for getting
the value map. So we can't simply change that.
One way out seems to be to create new methods to introduce the caching
behaviour - but that obviously only works if you then change all usage to the
new methods - and here again, I'm sure that there are places where you can't do
this.
I think the Filter use case could be solved (for example by introducing a
method on the request object), but I assume that is only one out of many

> Key: SLING-10899
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-10899
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JCR
> Affects Versions: JCR Resource 3.0.22
> Reporter: Henry Kuijpers
> Priority: Major
>
> I was performance testing our application. There is a specific part of the
> code where we have a set of ~500 resources and we sort them based on a few
> properties of the resources. Multiple properties are used (which results in
> multiple calls to getValueMap). The sorting is done using a comparator, so
> the logic that determines the order is accessed numerous times.
> We've seen quite a decrease in performance when doing this with Resources
> that are of type JcrNodeResource. Turns out that the result of getValueMap
> (or adaptTo((Value)Map.class)) is not cached.
> As you can see in the adaptTo()-method implementation:
> https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/helper/jcr/JcrNodeResource.java#L136
> this call bypasses the AdapterFactory framework and also bypasses any
> caching that happens over there.
> What's even more unfortunate, is that JcrValueMap is implementing caching via
> https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/6e13f4d315ddf2804d2e16c55faee18e805b618e/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/JcrValueMap.java#L49
> . That caching is not leveraged properly, because every call to getValueMap
> returns a new JcrValueMap, instead of reusing a previously created one.
> One change that can be done is maybe converting the logic inside the
> adaptTo()-method to a dedicated AdapterFactory implementation, so that
> caching is done by default?
