Jukka Zitting commented on JCR-1663:
------------------------------------
Instead of interning the local part of the name but still creating new Name
instances I'd rather see the NameFactory maintain a set of flywheel Name
instances for commonly used names. Then we perhaps wouldn't even need to intern
the namespace strings!
> REFERENCE properties produce duplicate strings in memory

> Key: JCR-1663
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1663
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-core, jackrabbit-spi-commons
> Affects Versions: 1.4, core 1.4.5
> Reporter: Roman Puchkovskiy
>
> When reference property is loaded from PM,
> Serializer.deserialize(NodeReferences, InputStream) is called, which calls
> PropertyId.valueOf(String), which in turn calls
> NameFactoryImpl.create(String) which finally splits a full property name to
> namespace and local name. Namespace is internalized, but local name is not
> (comments say that this is done to avoid perm space overfilling).
> So, in the end, a new String instance is created for local name. This leads
> to considerable memory waste when repository has a lot of nodes with
> REFERENCE properties.
> It seems that local name part could be internalized here too because in the
> most repositories it's not allowed to create properties with arbitrary names,
> so the danger of perm space exhaust does not seem to be an argument.
> As for ways to resolve this, maybe a new NameFactory implementation could be
> created which would be used for properties only (and, possibly, mainly in the
> PropertyId.valueOf(String)) which would extend an existing NameFactoryImpl
> overriding its create(String) method.
> What do you think about all this?
