[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-2732) ProcessInstancesWaitingForEvent Query is Extremely Inefficient and Should Be Simplified

ProcessInstancesWaitingForEvent Query is Extremely Inefficient and Should Be Simplified --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2732 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2732 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: All Affects Versions: 5.1.1.FINAL Environment: N/A Reporter: Anatoly Polinsky Assignee: Mark Proctor Labels: drools, drools-flow, persistence Original Estimate: 2 hours Remaining Estimate: 2 hours "ProcessInstancesWaitingForEvent" query that is used after each process / subprocess ends is extremely inefficient, and since there is no way to force an INDEX without being coupled with JPA provider, this query execution time increase exponentially as the number of processes goes up. Currently with only 20000 processes, the query takes 18(!!!) seconds to execute: <named-query name="ProcessInstancesWaitingForEvent"> <query> SELECT processInstanceInfo.processInstanceId FROM ProcessInstanceInfo processInstanceInfo WHERE :type in elements ( processInstanceInfo.eventTypes ) </query> </named-query> It is inefficient not only because there is no INDEX enforced, but because it goes into the sub query for no good reason. The better/correct query is: SELECT processInstanceInfo.processInstanceId FROM ProcessInstanceInfo processInstanceInfo, EventTypes eventTypes WHERE eventTypes.element = :type AND processInstanceInfo.processInstanceId = eventTypes.processInstanceId In order to get to this "better" query, since it is a JPA one, an EventType/s entity should be created ( it does not currently exist in 5.1.1 ). /Anatoly
