---------------------------
Summary: SynchronizationMBean: Deprecate syncAllUsers and
syncAllExternalUsers
Key: OAK-5118
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-5118
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: auth-external
Reporter: angela
The following 2 methods defined by {{SyncronizationMBean}} have been introduced
with a warning about being potentially expensive [0]:
- {{syncAllUsers}}
- {{syncAllExternalUsers}}
To me defining API that is designed with scalability issues in mind, looks like
a troublesome pattern. As far as I understood from the history associated with
this, I assume that it was introduced to allow for upfront sync to workaround
other issues faced by sync-upon-login.
With the latest improvements and features introduced wrt to the user-sync, I
think we should move forward deprecating the troublesome methods for the
upcoming 1.6 release.
[0] Quote from Javadoc: "Note that this can be an expensive operation since all
potential users need to be examined."
