Hi Craig,
I also think option 3 is the best way to go.

I couldn't recall it during the meeting, but I looked again at the JDBC API and found Statement.cancel() which matches the proposed semantics, and isn't even a recent API.

The JDBC expert group is working on a different proposal to add abort() which is a much stronger semantic, essentially destroying the Connection. This is probably not a good match to the semantics we're talking about here.

thanks for the info!

So, since the new JDBC method abort has a different semantics, it might be confusing to call the JDO Query method abort. I withdraw my proposal and we should go for Query.cancel.

Regards Michael

Hi Andy,

I think this is a good idea and we should add this to the next release!

I agree to go for option 3 and add a method to the Query API to abort query execution. BTW, maybe abort is a better method name for the method, what do you think?

I'm wondering whether there are any implementation issues. AFAIK, there is no standard JDBC API to abort a a running JDBC query. So how about allowing the method to throw a JDOUnsupportedOptionException in case it cannot be implemented for the underlying database?

Could you please file a "New Feature" JIRA for this?

Regards Michael


JDO doesn't have a mechanism to stop queries from overrunning. JPA2 now allows a persistence property to allow timing them out, and most JDO implementations have allowed this as an extension since JDO1. It would make sense for JDO (2.3) to have the same or a variation. Some ideas

Option1 :
Simple PMF property "javax.jdo.option.queryTimeout" to specify the number of millisecs (or secs) before any query is timed out. Throw a QueryTimeoutException (extends JDOException) when the timeout happens

Option2 :
as Option1, plus setTimeout() on Query to define it on a per query basis.

Option3 :
as Option2, plus we add cancel() on Query so that users can cancel long running queries programmatically, throwing a QueryInterruptedException (extends JDOUserException). The cancel would apply to all currently running invoked queries from that Query instance.



I'd go for option 3 since it provides full control in one change and we won't need to revisit the area later to add extra control. Comments ?
