Hibernate queries getting slower and slower - spring

Question

I'm working on a process that checks and updates data from Oracle database. I'm using hibernate and spring framework in my application.
The application reads a csv file, processes the content, then persiste entities :
public class Main() {
Input input = ReadCSV(path);
EntityList resultList = Process.process(input);
WriteResult.write(resultList);
...
}
// Process class that loops over input
public class Process{
public EntityList process(Input input) :
EntityList results = ...;
...
for(Line line : input.readLine()){
results.add(ProcessLine.process(line))
...
}
return results;
}
// retrieving and updating entities
Class ProcessLine {
#Autowired
DomaineRepository domaineRepository;
#Autowired
CompanyDomaineService companydomaineService
#Transactional
public MyEntity process(Line line){
// getcompanyByXX is CrudRepository method with #Query that returns an entity object
MyEntity companyToAttach = domaineRepository.getCompanyByCode(line.getCode());
MyEntity companyToDetach = domaineRepository.getCompanyBySiret(line.getSiret());
if(companyToDetach == null || companyToAttach == null){
throw new CustomException("Custom Exception");
}
// AttachCompany retrieves some entity relationEntity, then removes companyToDetach and adds CompanyToAttach. this updates relationEntity.company attribute.
companydomaineService.attachCompany(companyToAttach, companyToDetach);
return companyToAttach;
}
}
public class WriteResult{
#Autowired
DomaineRepository domaineRepository;
#Transactional
public void write(EntityList results) {
for (MyEntity result : results){
domaineRepository.save(result)
}
}
}
The application works well on files with few lines, but when i try to process large files (200 000 lines), the performance slows drastically, and i get a SQL timeout.
I suspect cache issues, but i'm wondering if saving all the entities at the end of the processing isn't a bad practice ?

Answer 1

The problem is your for loop which is doing individual saves on the result and thus does single inserts slowing it down. Hibernate and spring support batch inserts and should be done when ever possible.
something like domaineRepository.saveAll(results)
Since you are processing lot of data it might be better to do things in batches so instead of getting one company to attach you should get a list of companies to attach processes those then get a list of companies to detach and process those
public EntityList process(Input input) :
EntityList results;
List<Code> companiesToAdd = new ArrayList<>();
List<Siret> companiesToRemove = new ArrayList<>();
for(Line line : input.readLine()){
companiesToAdd.add(line.getCode());
companiesToRemove.add(line.getSiret());
...
}
results = process(companiesToAdd, companiesToRemove);
return results;
}
public MyEntity process(List<Code> companiesToAdd, List<Siret> companiesToRemove) {
List<MyEntity> attachList = domaineRepository.getCompanyByCodeIn(companiesToAdd);
List<MyEntity> detachList = domaineRepository.getCompanyBySiretIn(companiesToRemove);
if (attachList.isEmpty() || detachList.isEmpty()) {
throw new CustomException("Custom Exception");
}
companydomaineService.attachCompany(attachList, detachList);
return attachList;
}
The above code is just sudo code to point you in the right direction, will need to work out what works for you.

Answer 2

For every line you read you are doing 2 read operations here
MyEntity companyToAttach = domaineRepository.getCompanyByCode(line.getCode());
MyEntity companyToDetach = domaineRepository.getCompanyBySiret(line.getSiret());
You can read more than one line and us the in query and then process that list of companies
