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.
