ApplicationServiceGeneric#searchNestedGroupRelationships performs n+1 queries in order to shadow users

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary

      When there are multiple directories and membership aggregation is disabled for an applicatoin, group membership queries require an isCanonical check on each user. In order to do this isCanonical finds the user by name in order to shallow the user. This results in n+1 queries to the database. This can cause massive performance issues when the host application (in this case Stash) when calculating licensed user counts.

      Steps to Reproduce

      It is not entirely clear at this point how to accurately replicate the problem. It involves configuring nested groups and multiple user directories, then using the application such that it retrieves user groups.

      Expected Results

      Crowd retrieves nested groups with minimal performance impact.

      Actual Results

      There is a notable performance impact on the system and it presents with symptoms of performance problems.

      Verification

      Check for the presence of multiple threads utilising com.atlassian.crowd.manager.application.ApplicationServiceGeneric.isCanonical and/or com.atlassian.crowd.manager.application.ApplicationServiceGeneric.searchNestedGroupRelationships. For example from JIRA:

      Notes

      In JIRA, this can also cause performance problems. For example, some user actions in JIRA like com.atlassian.jira.components.issueeditor.action.AjaxIssueEditAction.doDefault and com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.FieldScreenRenderLayoutItemImpl.getEditHtml, there are many) require JIRA to calculate the permissions, which involves calling com.atlassian.jira.security.groups.DefaultGroupManager.getUsersInGroup. JIRA delegates this operation to ApplicationServiceGeneric.searchNestedGroupRelationships in its embedded Crowd. Embedded Crowd is dependent on these classes from Crowd. This can be an expensive calculation which increases with the number of users. Unfortunately the loop inside that method causes many queries to the database, many of them to fetch the directory mappings which are not cached.
