Marcel Reutegger commented on JCR-1238: --------------------------------------- ..., which is also the default in lucene. > Change default value for maxMergeDocs > ------------------------------------- > > Key: JCR-1238 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1238 > Project: Jackrabbit > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: jackrabbit-core > Reporter: Marcel Reutegger > Priority: Minor > > This is actually a left over from the time before JCR-197 was implemented. > Back then index merges were performed with the client thread and would hold > up execution for a long time if a large number of nodes were merged. The > default value for maxMergeDocs limited this to 100'000 nodes, resulting in a > couple of seconds for the merge operation. > This default value does not make sense anymore because index merges are > performed in a background thread and may take a long time without an effect > on regular workspace operations. If a workspace grows large it may cause > performance degradation because the number of index segments increases > linearly when there are more than 100'000 nodes. > I propose to set the new default to Integer.MAX_VALUE -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
