Hi everyone,
I found this article by Jasha about importing large number of files to
hippo cms.
http://blogs.hippo.nl/jasha/2008/07/importing_lots_of_data_into_hi.html
In the last paragraph, Jasha mentioned that Slide doesn't like too many
files in one directory.
Does anyone know what this threshold is? What's your experience with
large amount of files in one directory with hippo?
I don't think there's a fixed threshold, it's simply a question of the
more you put in, the slower it will get.
We tried around 10000 files in one dir, which took Hippo Repository
almost 5 mins for a complete file listing (with default flatfile
backend). So here is the second question: what can we do to tune the
performance? I am going to try it with db backend, as well as increasing
the memory. What are the other things that I can try?
First of all, a 1000 files in one directory, will be unmanageable for
your editors, try finding one specific file in such a listing. And even
if you could tune it to be faster, what would be acceptable? twice as
fast? You'll get much more performance gain, by simply putting less
files in a folder.
I think it would be wise to put them in subdirectories/subtrees like by
year/month/day for example, or if no such distinction can be made, by
first few letters like f/i/l/e.
Regards,
Bartosz
