Hello, We have a problem with deleting users on a massive (12GB, 1,6M objects) database. I've localized the problem into the deleteLocalRoles function in Products.CMFCore-2.1.2-py2.4.egg/Products/CMFCore/MembershipTool.py
http://pastie.org/988936 It's a recursive function which passes through all objects in the site, and deletes any local roles of the to-be-deleted-user. On a local machine with an older version of the database (7,6GB - 1,2M objects) the action takes around a minute. Problem is (our assumption) that if one of the object changes, the entire delete action fails and is restarted. Seeing the site is heavily used, the chances of object changing is very high. Testing revealed the deletion taking 7 to 8 minutes. And I was told it fails quite often, I assume a timeout on the entire action. An option would be to not recursively deleted those local roles. But what concequences will that have? Are they eventually deleted? Or do they keep lingering around to stab us in the back? (As in, a new user has the exact username of a previously deleted user, and suddenly takes over his local roles ..). Or what other options would there be? At this time, it's close to impossbible to delete users.
