entry cache size on DS5.2 P2 and DS5.2 P4
Hi,
We have few DS5.2P2 servers in cascaded replication topology for a single suffix with single database (userRoot). There are around 115300 entries in this suffix. I migrated two servers from 5.2p2 to 5.2p4. I noticed that the entry cache need for both these versions are very much different for the same suffix. Here after the findings:
On DS5.2P2 when I load all entries using (objectclass=*) filter, the memory it consumes is 621 MB ( as reported in Entry cache usage report in status tab and Max entry cache size is set to 850 MB).
On DS5.2P4 when I load all entries using (objectclass=*) filter, the memory it consumes is 827 MB ( as reported in Entry cache usage report in status tab and Max entry cache size is set to 850 MB).
Both servers are on Sun sparc, same OS 8.0, both are consumer replica. I tested the loading of entries immediately after restart of ns-slapd service on both the server.
Why such a huge increase (200 MB) in DS5.2P4 for the entry cache for same database content (same number of entries). ?
Thanks
