openldap community,
I would like your comments about some cache configuration. I'm sending
attached my slapd.conf for full information about my system.
Since I have some memory constraints I needed to limit using cache
configuration in slapd.conf file.
#Cache values
#cachesize 10000
cachesize 20000
dncachesize 3000000
#dncachesize 400000
#idlcachesize 10000
idlcachesize 30000
#cachefree 10
cachefree 10000
Since I was initially testing using only ldapseach through all DB,
dncachesize in 3,000,000 was controlling correctly the use of memory.
Then using the same cache constraints in slapd.conf I create a jmeter
script with a csv file that individually search for each entrance in the
DB. This would be understand as individual ldapsearch with individual
entrances search different from a ldapsearch for all entrances in DB.
But for my surprise the memory was consumed much faster and when around
500K entrances were searched , much less than the ldapsearch full in
3,000,000 cache, I already had the same memory consumption. In this way
I had a crash in slapd since the memory was all allocated.
I would like your help to understand these memory constraints
configuration and why memory consumption behavior was so different in
these 2 cases.
For summary :
Case 1: Search full DB using a single ldapsearch (ldapsearch
<parameters> filter=* )
Case2: Multiple searches to all entrances in DB using like multiple
ldapsearch (ldapsearch <parameters> filter=<unique DB>)
Is there any difference between these two cases based in cache limitation?
Maybe I've some incorrect understanding about cache configuration.
Best Regards,
Rodrigo.
