[jira] Commented: (JCR-2892) Large fetch sizes have potentially deleterious effects on VM memory requirements when using Oracle

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2892?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12995726#comment-12995726 ] 

Thomas Mueller commented on JCR-2892:
-------------------------------------

Wow, I would never have thought the Oracle driver actually allocates the memory... sounds like a really bad idea to do nowadays, but well this is Oracle. Anyway, if you do have a failing test case, then of course the fetch size needs to be changed.

>             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jackrabbit-core, sql
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.2
>         Environment: Oracle 10g+
>            Reporter: Christopher Elkins

> Since Release 10g, Oracle JDBC drivers use the fetch size to allocate buffers for caching row data.
> cf. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/memory.pdf
> r1060431 hard-codes the fetch size for all ResultSet-returning statements to 10,000. This value has significant, potentially deleterious, effects on the heap space required for even moderately-sized repositories. For example, the BUNDLE table (from 'oracle.ddl') has two columns -- NODE_ID raw(16) and BUNDLE_DATA blob -- which require 16 b and 4 kb of buffer space, respectively. This requires a buffer of more than 40 mb [(16+4096) * 10000 = 41120000].
> If the issue described in JCR-2832 is truly specific to PostgreSQL, I think its resolution should be moved to a PostgreSQL-specific ConnectionHelper subclass. Failing that, there should be a way to override this hard-coded value in OracleConnectionHelper.
