Hi Will, Magnolia 3.0.2 is due for release fairly soon I think, and that will include the latest jackrabbit version as far as I know. I think it should be just a plug-in jar replacement, but I'm not sure how heavily it has been tested with Magnolia yet, so I wouldn't switch a live installation right now. If you can wait until 3.0.2 is out that will be the safest option.
If you're using the default Derby persistence manager then there are definitively benefits to switching to a different option. I have been using the new MySQL persistence manager in production for a while now, and I haven't had any problems. It is almost certainly more reliable than Derby, and I 'think' it's faster, although I haven't got any test results to back that up! There are details of the MySQL persistence manager in the wiki, and the mailing list archive, so give that a try. As you found, the old wiki URL seems to be broken at the moment (has been for a while), but you can still get to it via: http://www.magnolia.info/wiki/ Don't know anything about CQFS, and haven't seen it mentioned on the magnolia lists, so I would try the other options above first before looking into that. Hope that helps, Simon On 13/03/07, Will Scheidegger <[email protected]> wrote:
We're not dealing with huge sites (i.e. france24.com) but rather small SMB sites. Still, we're often faced with performance issues. Some of them we were able to solve with one or the other workaround (i.e. = "hacks"). Still, some remain and leave us a bit clueless. Therefore my questions: What are the options to improve performance? (EE is not an option!) On the Jackrabbit website I found out that newer versions are available - Has anyone tried them? Do they help performance wise? - Can one simply exchange the jackrabbit JAR? Further info on the Jackrabbit website tells me that one could try different persistance managers. - What are your experiences here? - Where is the bottleneck usually? The persistance manager or is it Jackrabbit itself? Finally also on this website there are some notes about CQFS. Apparently this seems to be very fast on Windows. - Is it also a good option on Solaris (not just Windows)? - Any first hand experiences here anyone? I guess I _could_ find some answers on the WIKI, but what happened to it?! http://wiki.magnolia.info/ currently takes you back to the Magnolia Homepage...
