Performance of Indexes
we are doing some performance testing on Static Groups...we have created a Static Group with around 20k members. and when we
we have created an group with around 20,000 Members and the file looks like this
dn:cn=salaried group,ou=groups,dc=yyyyy,dc=com
objectlcass:top
objectclass:groupofuniquenames
cn:salaried group
uniquemember: uid=test00001,ou=people,dc=yyyy,dc=com
uniquemember: uid=test00002,ou=people,dc=yyyy,dc=com
.....
....
...
...
..
uniquemember: uid=test20000,ou=people,dc=yyyy,dc=com.
I have imported the above file and then performed the search operation and observed the following results:
1) IF i make a search for "uniquemember=uid=testooo10,ou=people,dc=yyy,dc=com", the search time is around 300ms
2) for the search "uniquemember=test05020,ou=people,dc=yyyyy,dc=com" the searchtime is 800ms
3) for the search "uniquemember=test9999,ou=people,dc=yyyyy,dc=com" the searchtime is 2000ms.
Iam a little bit confused with the way the Indexes operate because,,,,from the results i oberved above....i feel that the values for the uniquemember attribute are stored in the same order as that in the ldif file.... is that how the entry ID for the uniquemember attribtue are created?is there anyway we can know the orded in which the index of an attribtues stores it's values?
