[jira] Updated: (DIRSERVER-1161) search results are not streamed to the client until final done response is queued

["Norval Hope (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Norval Hope updated DIRSERVER-1161:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: streaming_log_output.txt
                streaming_logging.patch

The .patch attached adds some extra logging to SearchHandler and ExecutorFilter (in MINA) to make the problem apparent, and adds some extra settings in apacheds/server-main/log4j.properties to ensure the new messages are logged.

I checked out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/apacheds/branches/1.0-with-dependencies to a directory called "ad" and then checked out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mina/tags/1.0.3 to a directory called "mina" under the top-level "ad", so the patch also includes building of this custom MINA 1.0.3 in the top-level pom.xml. 

Finally I've attached some log output for a search triggered from JXplorer for all DNs under ou=system. Note how in attached .txt file we see "size of queue is currently=17" without any writing being attempted until the final response done is queued, at which time all results are written. I have verified when running an LDAP client in the debugger (JMeter) that it sees no search results until the done has been written to the session and the NIO structures are flushed (and the synchronized block exited). I have also verified this lack of streaming applies to searches returning 100k results, so it's not a simple timing issue or anything simple like that.

> Search results accumulate in Events on the SessionBuffer.eventQueue within ExecutorFilter.fireEvent() until final done response for the search is written to the session and then all results for the search (possibly millions depending on the search and state of the directory) are written out at once. This is a big problem for scalability and I gather from previous correspondence with Alex that this behaviour is unexpected.
