Hi Kevin,

got no expirience with mapping xml to a possible jackrabbit structure.

Think you should give your last thought a try. If you don't need every
information from your xml-file, just map these you are interestet in.
If you save the xml-file as additional property (Stream) to the content-node you are able to analyse the xml again. Maybe you
could have same kind of background-worker.

just a thought:
1. create a content-node and add the xml-file as blob,
   this shouldn't take much time
2. run a background-worker to do the hard stuff

got also no expirience with more than ~30 properties,
maybe you could have a look at the benchmark classes
of jackrabbit and write a performace test.

^^ if your xml files have all the same structure and you query
always the same properties, a relational db is much faster.
but if you are dealing with different semistructured files
and want to be as flexible as possible - i don't know any better
than jackrabbit. i my usecase i must say i have just 'raped'
the rabbit ;-)


best regards

Hi Mark & all,

What I'm doing currently is to use Jackrabbit to store XML document. Each XML element's attribute 
will be mapped to a node property. And each XML text element, for example 
"<age>13</age>", will be also mapped to node property. All other XML elements 
are mapped to a jackrabbit node.

I'm now doubting if my case is the right use case for Jackrabbit. In my case, one XML document will be mapped to 500 node/child-nodes. If I have 1 million xml documents, it means 500M nodes will be created and indexed.
Or I only map those nodes/properties I'm interested and in addition store the 
xml in a file node.

Best,
Kevin

Subject: Re: session save and performance question

Hello Kevin,

i think you are right, when saying that saving the session is cost
intensive. but ... it depends on ...

1. how your application works internally
    - do you really have to save the session every time
      or can you work with a transaction concept ?
2. what kind of structure you use
    - flat or hierachical
3. if you need/use mix:versioning
4. .... maybe others i've not mentioned here ?

i made some tests regarding 'invisible' structure nodes
vs a flat hierarchy when adding 50k content nodes.
[50k is a small amount within my current project]

it is always better to have a kind of structure above
your content nodes, when you exceed x numbers of child-nodes.

because i haven't done all of the tests, i am not really sure
what i would suggest for x - the userlist says ~10k, anywhere
else (or was it an old entry ?) mentioned 4k.

@Kevin, if not done yet, read some of the old list-entries


best regards

I saw session saving costs too much time. I guest it might be caused by too many nodes to be saved. what's the best practice to save the session to get the best performance? Thanks a lot,
Kevin
