Files and folders system limit

[mgeirola]

Hello,

we use a third party service based on Alfresco Community, Alfresco is only used as a repository.

Our directory structure is very simple, we have a root and on it we create a large number of directories. In the directories the number of files can be large.

We use the CMIS API, below are the versions given to us by the provider:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.chemistry.opencmis</groupId>.
<artifactId>chemistry-opencmis-client-impl</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.alfresco.cmis.client</groupId>
<artifactId>alfresco-opencmis-extension</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>.

Our system uses only two APIs, create the documents by folder and filename and get one by folder and filename. We do not use the browse or list APIs.

We create about 1 million folders per year and 10-20 files per folder.

We also use a temporary folder where we store files and then move them to another folder, the files in this folder can be at least 100k.

The version of Alfresco made available by our provider is:

Edition: Community
Version number: 6.0.7 (rb4fe76b5-b113)
Version label:
Alfresco Content Services version and build number.
Outline: 10.201

The behavior we are experiencing is that when we write to a folder with 15k files the system responds in more than 60 seconds.

Could the problem be related to the number of files in the virtual folder?
Is there a limit of folders that can be managed, considering the use of only the two indicated APIs?
Is there a limit of files in the folders, considering the use of only the two indicated APIs?

Thank you in advance

I haven't met the limitations, but there is a recomendation to use couple of thousend nodes per a folder. So it is expected to get long delays with 100'000 files. Change the logic of using Alfresco and split your content to packages by 2000-3000 nodes per folder.

I do not have expirience with lage quantity of folders, usualy it is a lot of documents in one folder. But as for Alfresco document and folder are just a nodes, the 1 million of folders must be splited too.
