[JDEV] BIG Roster in Jabber

[Murali P]

Hi All,
     This being the order (900 items in roster), the way xdb_sql has been
written is totally screwed.

It first does a select from the rosterusers table to fetch the list of jid's for
that username and then for each & every jid, it selects from rostergroups table
to get the group name.

So for every client while logging in it does a jabber:iq:roster, there would be
a minimum of 901 questions on the db :) & subsequently, whenever this client who
has now logged in wants to add/modify an existing buddy , jabber internally
would do a jabber.Iq:roster & fetch his current roster list , only to go into an
eternal sleep mode :) (this is the case for just one user)

As regards the functionality of buddy add's in the offline mode, it is better
not to comment as it does not work at all in xdb_sql (or atleast in mysql as
db).


Regards
P.Murali

I agree with temas -- large rosters cause a lot of packets to fly around
in the server, so it's better to write this as a component. My roster (900
items) probably hogs ridiculous amounts of memory. Maybe I need to be a
component. :)

Anyone have a good roster-cleaner? Maybe I need to write one...
