             Summary: MultiPropertyFilterIndex is unusable when a service 
property contains a lot of values
                 Key: FELIX-5467
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5467
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Dependency Manager
    Affects Versions: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r8
            Reporter: Jeroen Daanen
         Attachments: MultiPropertyFilterIndex.java, Property.java

Upon addition of a service, the MultiPropertyFilterIndex creates a set of keys 
using the keys and values of the service reference properties. If the value is 
an array of values it creates keys for each possible permutation of those 
values so that the service reference can be retrieved if in the service 
dependency filter multiple values are specified (e.g. 
{{(&(objectClass=SomeClass)(&(a=x)(a=n)(a=y)(b=y)(c=z)))}}). If there are a lot 
of values for a key this results in a huge memory consumption, making it 
impossible to use.
Now, in my application I always specify just one value in the service filter 
(e.g. there is a service which has multiple values for property "a" but I only 
specify one: {{(&(objectClass=SomeClass)(&(a=x)(b=y)(c=z)))}}) so I don't need 
those permutations, but because my property has a lot of values (>10) I cannot 
use the MultiPropertyFilterIndex causing a significant performance loss.

I would like to suggest to add the possibility to leave out creating the 
permutation of values for a service property if you specify so in your filter 
properties. For instance by preceding the property configuration with '#', e.g. 
{{-Dorg.apache.felix.dependencymanager.filterindex=\*aspect\*;\*adapter\*;objectClass;objectClass,#a,b,c}}
