My project consists of thousands of audio clips, each submitted by a user
(kind of like YouTube).
Currently, the Clip entity is as follows
// ....
private long userId;
So userId is the id of the person who made that clip. Since I want to load
the User object when I load a record, I take my list of recordings (never
above 20) and do something like this:
SELECT FROM User s WHERE s.id = userIdOfFirst OR s.id = userIdOfSecond
OR.....
This works, and I create a Map<Long, User> which now allows me to lookup
users by ID in my app when displaying data to the user, but is this the most
efficient way of doing it? I was looking at storing a private Key user,
because I know I can't do private User user, but I don't know if replacing
it with Keys would be a lot more efficient since that long is just a key.
So does that big OR query have any performance implications? Would I be
better off doing something like:
List<User> relevantUsers = new LinkedList<User>();
for (Clip clip : allMyClips) {
relevantUsers.add(em.load(clip.getUserId()));
}
Using the em.load should be really quick because right now the long IS the
key.
Can someone just fill in these gaps for me on my confusion?
