Hi

where can i found some information about EMF benchmarks ?
Do you know if there is a model limit size (using XMI) ?
For a teneo use is there some speed benchmarks ?

Is somebody try to use EMF and Teneo for very huge models (Actually i
can't quantify what is the limit between models and huge models ;)) ?
what kind of problem do you have ? Do you need to apply a process to
avoid performance problem ?

We used to run micro benchmark performance tests, but we've not been
doing that for a while. Loading performance depends a lot on options,
the complexity of the model, not just the size, i.e,. lots of cross
references will make things slower.

tahnk you ed for you remarks and maybe sorry for my question a little
bit too evasive

I'll check your links and if anybody has some experience return he is
welcome.

And about model limit size it doens't depends on the physical size ?
Does EMF loads models incrementally ?

Tristan,

IBM uses UML which is based on EMF to load massive models. Of course
clients feed in models until the system runs out of memory. But that
happens for massive models. Sometimes I joke that Java doesn't scale
because while I have 4G of physical RAM, I can't build more than a 2G
heap...

EMF's XML deserializer loads an entire resource at once, but cross
resources references are loaded on demand as you visit the data.
Nothing will automatically unload them if you stop using them. The fact
that ResourceSet, Resource, and EObject form a containment tree with two
way references means that general a reference to any EObject or Resource
will keep the entire tree in memory...

Maybe it can help but I know some technology are built to access big graphs.

With CDO, you can load a big graph as big as you want. While you are
crawling the graph, objects that are not used anymore will be evict from the
cache automatically. This is possible because objects are never linked
together. Garbage collector can do its work.
I'm able to load 4 gig of data even if my JVM maxsize is at 260 megs !!!

What it is nice is while you are crawling.. you don't need to do anything
special. (e.g.: clean objects, remove object from cache, etc...)

Hi Tristan,
As Ed pointed out, it always depends. You should use one of the later versions of Teneo as the 1.0.0
release had a performance issue with large sets of data (10000s of objects in mem).

If you have performance issues then I would definitely enable hibernate sql logging so you can see
what queries are fired by hibernate at which point. This has helped me a lot to find issues here and
there.

EMF uses EMF proxying to prevent eager loading. However Teneo/Hibernate does not use that at the
moment, Teneo/hibernate uses the standard lazy loading mechanism of hibernate (cglib and lazy loaded
lists). So both native EMF and EMF/Teneo/Hibernate support incremental loading.

gr. Martin

We have a pretty large model ( > 800 classifiers). I've been playing
around with persistence via teneo this last week. I've just now got the
basic thing working and need to look at some of the bottlenecks I've
hit. Most I think revolve around eager fetching.

The DB schema that teneo / hibernate have generated has > 500 tables
which is pretty large model in my book.

This is currently hurting on start up as hibernate evaluates what needs
to change. I'm assuming hibernate has a way to turn that off but haven't
pursued that yet.

On the performance front I'm about to look into tweaking a few things
such as:

- selectively turning off eager fetching of containment on queries. In
general I want it to do this as each object we will pull out of the db
is a pretty large (and diverse) tree. If I needed to specify what to
fetch in each query I would get a very large amount of querying code.
- However, on some operations (particularly when I persist new
versions of these objects) I need to navigate some one to many
containment relationships to add this one to the list. I think it is
eager fetching all the data on every version at the moment which is
causing it to grind. I think hibernate allows you to set fetch
strategies on individual criteria.

- large inheritance trees. I have one class in particular - Product -
that has many subtypes. Hibernate is doing a query on product that joins
on to every subtype. Since its only ever one of these this is wasteful.
I set the MAX_FETCH_DEPTH to 0 to try to stop this but it still does it.
I suspect I may need custom mappings on Product somehow to turn this off.

- Denormalising some classes. I believe there is an Embeddable concept
in EMF that may help this. Also I may choose different inheritance
strategies for different hierarchies.

Hopefully next week I will have more info on my experiences working with
a large model

cheers

I am working with a 425 table model and hibernate is initialized in about 10 seconds.
In my case I don't update the database schema so probably this is were the time is spend by hibernate.

Another thing to watch for is that EMF sends notifications on the basis of changes in objects,
sometimes these notifications result in loading of data at unexpected moments in time. Although it
can't be prevented always (EMF sends the notifications for a reason) it can be good to be aware of it.

MT>> Afaik the fetch_depth is related to associations and not so much depth of the inheritance tree.
Another option would be to use single table inheritance for this inheritance tree. Hibernate has a
limitation though that a whole inheritance tree should use one inheritance strategy for the whole
tree. So you can do join_table for the top of the tree and single table for branches. But if your
product inheritance tree is an independent tree then it can be set to single table using the
inheritance annotation.

That did the trick. Starts much quicker now.

Interesting. How would I go about doing that?

Good to know. I'll keep these options in mind when tuning collections.

I actually started with single table but changed it to join when I saw
what was generated. I had naively hoped that hibernate would change
approach in this case and not do the extra joins, buy was wrong. Having
all the product heirarchy flattened in this case is pretty ugly so I'm
going to leave it as it is now. Annoying that there doesn't seem to be a
way to stop hibernate doing the queries like this. But I think we can
probably live with it.

Hi Andrew,
To write your own query generator you have to traverse the in-memory model and create a query on the
basis of the in-memory model.

For example this piece of code (not necessarily syntacticallly correct) will do a query for each
eclass in the system:
Session s = dataStore.getSessionFactory().getSession();
for (EClass eClass : ePackage.getEClasses()) {
final Query qry = s.createQuery("from " + eClass.getName());
System.err.println("Querying for " + eClass.getName());
for (Object o : qry.list()) {
System.err.println(o);
}
}

and the following code will generate an eager join with each many-to-one of an eclass. So for your
query generator you have to find some parameters to control what gets joined. Note that you can for
example add an eannotation in your model to classify the ereferences and use that classification
(the annotation) in the query generator to generate the correct eager joins.

public List<Object> queryEagerly(EClass eClass, Session session) {
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("select e from " + eClass.getName() + "

System.err.println("Querying for " + eClass.getName());
for (EReference eref : eClass.getEAllReferences()) {
if (!eref.isMany()) {
sb.append(" left outer join fetch e." + eref.getName());
}
}
// add the where clause here
final Query qry = session.createQuery(sb.toString());
return qry.list();
}

Hope this helps.

That's a very interesting idea. I think that will be very helpful for
implementing some of the searches I need to do

cheers
