I did some searching to try and answer the following question and the
answer is not apparent to me.
I have a directory with hundreds of thousands of entries. I have an app which, due to
its behavior, needs to
be able to search for very large sets of users but I don’t want it to be able to get ALL
users and therefore exhaust
all memory on the ldap server.
If the app performs a search on uid=* and the it’s a paged search, does this have a
positive impact on how
memory is used to handle the results so it doesn’t exhaust all memory?
I’m trying to keep the scenario simple so I hope you appreciate the question I am getting
at.
The primary reason for using paged results on the server side is to
allow you to perform searches which otherwise would have hit the
lookthrough limit, and caused high CPU spikes. It should also reduce
memory usage, although I'm not sure why it should exhaust memory in the
first place. Are you seeing the directory server run out of memory with
these types of searches?
thanks!
