David Churcher commented on MNG-6311: ------------------------------------- Thanks Karl, there are 13 modules in this itest project, with 300-500 direct and transitive dependencies per module. The tests take around 5 minutes in total to run. It is running single-threaded (not using -T). Running from the command line. File system is Windows NTFS on SSD. It is a default Java build. I have sent a -X debug log and a dependency:tree log to your Github email address. It's running on JDK8. I ran it with the profiler extension, which shows that the time is nearly all spent at the Project Discovery stage: 1196997 ms (20 minutes). With the attached patch this falls to 1521 ms. > Maven intolerably slow when import scope used heavily in large project > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6311 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6311 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core, Performance > Affects Versions: 3.5.0, 3.5.2 > Reporter: David Churcher > Priority: Major > Labels: performance > Attachments: anon-hierarchy-maven-output.zip, modelcachefix.diff > > > I have a build performance problem that is identical to MNG-5312, and has > appeared since MNG-6030 in Maven v3.5.0 reversed the patch for MNG-5312, > removing the ModelCache from some of the overloads for > DefaultProjectBuilder.build. > As in MNG-5312 the problem is in a large proprietary project. It uses up to 8 > levels of parent POMs, many of which use the import scope and have large > dependency-management sections, and has hundreds of dependencies that also > use the same parent POM hierarchy. Adding some logging shows that Maven does > over 800,000 uncached reads of parent POM files, which takes about half an > hour. With model caching this goes down to a few seconds. > I've attached a patch that fixes this by using a class-level ModelCache in > DefaultProjectBuilder. This does not suffer from the memory usage problems > reported in MNG-6030. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
