Add stress test with many indexes

[LeeKingHung]

Issue Basics

• ObjectBox version: 1.5.0
• Reproducibility: most of the times

Description

I found that when I have many data (>50,000 records) in the database, write operation ( Box.put(), Box.removeAll(), etc. ) will hang forever. However, read operation still works. After debugging, I found that "nativeBeginTx()" (in BoxStore.java) or "nativeDeleteAll" (in Cursor.java) method call never ended. Is there any additional setup for large data application?

My BoxStore.diagnose() result (called before write operation):

last-page-number=48054
last-tx-id=3863
size=10737418240
max-readers=500
readers=4

Setup

static final int MAX_NUM_DB_READERS = 500;
static final long MAX_DB_SIZE_KB = 10 * 1024 * 1024;

mBoxStore = MyObjectBox.builder().androidContext( this ).maxSizeInKByte( MAX_DB_SIZE_KB ).maxReaders( MAX_NUM_DB_READERS ).build();

Debug

(Logged from the start of the application, where #4 is box.removeAll() transaction, The number of records in that box is < 300, and it takes forever)

50k entities is not much. We tested with millions.

Do you have some reproducible test case?

[LeeKingHung]

I do not have any test case yet as I am still in development.

I noticed that the number of entries is ~2M (From BoxStore.diagnose()), does it equal the number of records?

Anyway, I removed some indexes and relations from some entities, the database size was greatly reduced and no hang was observed.

Indexes influence the number of entries directly; 1 per index per entity.
Out of curiosity: how many indexes where you having when it was slow? How many are you having now?
PS.: Did it actually hang forever or was it very slow?

[LeeKingHung]

Previously I had 20++ indexes and now 10 indexes.

It hanged forever, i.e. no response at all (tried to wait for more than 10 minutes).

Maybe need to know what is the possible cause to make nativeBeginTx hang when data size is large?

[greenrobot]

There should be no reason to hang, just to slow down. We could set up a stress test on our side using a lot of index properties.
