Description

Requests to list collections by PDH and name (I think these are coming from a-c-r) sometimes take a very long time (90s+):

I added another index and this query got 10x faster:

arvados_api_production=# \d index_collections_on_portable_data_hash_is_trashed

I updated the original ticket with the contents of Note-1. I'll delete that note too.

Another thing to note here is that the representation of a 16 byte MD5 hash as a 32 character hexadecimal string has much lower information density than its original representation.

Updated by Tom Morris over 5 years ago

It looks like the Postgres UUID datatype with a B-tree index, may be a more efficient way to go for storing and indexing MD5s:
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/115271/what-is-the-optimal-data-type-for-an-md5-field
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/102448/how-should-i-index-a-uuid-in-postgres

Also, I'm wondering if the separate COUNT query is really necessary. I guess if both queries are made fast, it's less of an issue, but it makes me suspicious of the anti-pattern of counting things that don't really need counting.
