             Summary: Significant performance issue in TargetImportHandler's 
prefix mapping handling
                 Key: OAK-808
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-808
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jcr
    Affects Versions: 0.7
            Reporter: Lukas Eder


While playing around with Oak, I have observed a significant performance 
bottleneck in 

{code}
org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.jcr.xml.TargetImportHandler
{code}

The problem can be seen in the attached Screenshot taken from a Yourkit 
profiling session. The TargetImportHandler contains a reference to a 
"documentContext" ListMultimap, which acts like a stack of prefix <-> namespace 
mappings. To the outside, however, it is exposed as "documentPrefixMap", a 
regular prefix <-> namespace mapping map, which only references the last 
namespace for a prefix.

What's problematic here: "documentPrefixMap" is eagerly copied from 
"documentContext" every time the latter is modified, which may happen a lot in 
upstream products, such as Adobe CQ5. Instead, "documentPrefixMap" should be a 
Map view exposing the desired data. An example implementation using Guava:

{code}
// Create this view once, in the constructor
this.documentPrefixMap = Maps.transformValues(documentContext.asMap(),
    new Function<Collection<String>, String>() {
        @Override
        public String apply(Collection<String> input) {
            return Iterables.getLast(input, null);
        }
    });
{code}

The above implementation might work, as "documentPrefixMap" is a read-only view 
of the "documentContext" map. More explicit, verbose implementations may prove 
to be even faster.

Before I write a patch, please let me know what you think.
