Performance issues caused by User.getOrCreate

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      According to the source code, when executing User.getOrCreate() this code is executed all the time even if the user is in memory. It only needs to be done once - which should be if the user is not in memory (ie do it once when the user is loaded) - after which it is in the map of loaded users - no need to do it again - ever.... (until Jenkins restart).

      One simple solution seems to be to change

      if (!configFile.isFile() && !configFile.getParentFile().isDirectory()) {
      

      per

      if (u == null && !configFile.isFile() && !configFile.getParentFile().isDirectory()) {
      

      The typical stacktrace I am seeing on Jenkins instance which reveal this is an issue is:

      "Handling GET /m2/securityRealm/finishLogin from X.X.X.X : RequestHandlerThread[#4449]" #326951 daemon prio=5 os_prio=0 tid=0x00007fb1f1480000 nid=0x2b0d runnable [0x00007fb1a3b2f000]

      	at hudson.model.User.get(User.java:488)
      

      For the moment, it seems to be only a problem on NFS systems with perhaps a non very good performance.
