Affected methods are
- Group.isMember(Authorizable)
- Group.isDeclaredMember(Authorizable)
- Group.addMember(Authorizable)
- Group.addMembers(String...)
Below are a few initial ideas for {{isMember}} and {{isDeclaredMember}}:
1) Avoid having to read all child nodes to check declared membership
Assuming an alphanumeric ID structure, this could be achieved my modifying the
structure like that:
- as before, start with a single node
- when a new member needs to be inserted and the candidate node is already full
(has 1000 entries), create a new child node named after the first character of
the authorizable ID
- when this "level 1" member is full, start using "level 2" members and so on
(assuming the ID structure is suitable for that, otherwise a different hash
could be used)
To check for membership, we wouldn't need to read *all* child nodes, but only
those where the node name is a prefix match of the ID.
2) Avoid having to instantiate authorizables for declared membership checks
- put limited type information into the stored IDs, such as "u" and "g"
prefixes; that way the code could identify authorizables that are users and
avoid having to instantiate them
(this assumes that an ID that refers to a user will never refer to a group in
the future)
