My repository has roughtly 13,000 documents. Total document size is around 5GB. Operations such as checkin and checkout are noticable slower with this volume of content. Checking a document out takes 30 seconds to 1 minute and making a node versionable could take 5 minutes. I have profiled the syst

Hi,

What version of the repo are you running?
What is the structure of the documents?
The following query will work for a 1.3 repo on MySQL - the top 10 results would be useful.


select parent_node_id, count(child_node_id) children from child_assoc group by parent_node_id order by children desc limit 10;

I do not have a "parent_node_id" field in my child_assoc table. Instead I used this query:

select parent_guid, count(child_identifier) children from child_assoc group by parent_guid order by children desc limit 10; ‍

Results:

I am using repository version 1.2 and the documents are scattered throughout a large tree.

Hi,

The good news is that the 1.3 schema results in less data and uses Hibernate's ability to apply the indexes that will deal with the scalability issue you are experiencing.

Provided you have a scattered structure, you should find that the system scales much better with 1.3. You'll have to update to 1.2.1 and then to 1.3.1.
