http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29743 modified selector has poor cachefile save performance Summary: modified selector has poor cachefile save performance Product: Ant Version: 1.6.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The modified selector has the default behavior of saving cache information to a propertiesfile when a change to a file is recognized. This file comparison is performed when the isSelected(File basedir, String filename, File file) method is called upon the selector. It is at this point that the propertiesfile will be updated ( rewritten ). The propertiesfile will be rewritten every time a modified file is found. When working with large filesets that have many changes, in my case 15000, this leads to poor performance as the properties file is rewritten many times ( up to 15000 times in my case ). I would like to be able to delay the writing of this file til some later point, after multiple changes are found. Unfortunately, the selector framework really only understands the context of one file, through the isSelected method. A selector does not know when we are finished processing a fileset or possibly finished with the selector all together ( unless I am missing a piece in the selector architecture ). A possibility is to add one or more methods to BaseSelector, that a custom selector could override. In the case of the modified selector, we may be able to get away with knowing we are finished with the selector through some method call like "tearDown". At this point, the modified selector could save its properites file. Another option is to add filesetListener type of behavior to the BaseSelector. This would notify a selector when a fileset selection has started and ended. With this option, the modified selector could save its properties file and the end of fileset selection. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
