[mapguide-users] RE: Changing custom PoolSize for GDAL has no effect

[Traian Stanev]

Not sure if that would help, but a patch I did a while back to fix refcounting issues with the GDAL provider also included an optimization about config file parsing which sped up opening of new GDAL connections by a factor of 10 at least.

The patch is attached to this ticket: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/462 called gdal_nomutex_cachedschema.patch.

It was a long time ago, but as far as I remember this optimization was key in case one wants to enable pooling of GDAL connections. It also removed the internal global mutex in the provider which made it work single-threaded regardless of the setting in the MapGuide configuration. That patch requires my addref patch attached to the same ticket.

Hi Gunter,

Since only one raster feature source can be loaded at any given time, you may up with some additional load overhead if your config.xml (raster catalog) documents are fairly large.  As far as I know, the config.xml information will only remain cached for the lifetime of the connection to the raster feature source.  With 35 raster feature sources, it may be getting parsed for every raster request.

Regards, 
Trevor

Thanks Trevor,

can I suppose that my configuration (35 raster featuresources, 50 concurrent
user) could work with
the single-threaded GDAL Provider or does the provider means a bottleneck
for my application?

The repository error: I will try final release as soon it is available and
if the error exists I will post it here. I supposed it has to do something
with the rasterprovider since I've not found any hint in logfiles on what's
going on. Even with full error report enabled.

Funding the work on the GDAL Provider: I have to discuss this with my
company (personally I'd like to fund but it is not my decision)

Thanks, Gunter
