Reviewing a very bad performance on an installation using ASP (SaaS) module, noticed that the caches distributed using hazelcast are killing the peformance.
The cause is that every call to the cache is returning a different object, and the cache of ASP fields is implemented as an array of the object - trusting that every call returns the same object.
So, in practice every call to MClient.get is returning a different MClient object and forcing a new expensive query in MClient.isDisplayField
Two solutions analyzed:
1 - make the cache of MClient non distributed
2 - implement near-cache in hazelcast.
See http://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/latest-dev/manual/html-single/index.html#near-cache

But also please consider the following - the hazelcast-template.xml is intended as a template that works fine out-of-the-box -but every installation can modify the hazelcast.xml on the IDEMPIERE_HOME folder for its own needs - indeed when setting up hazelcast for multi-server (example AWS) it is required to modify this file.
Hi mr , hazelcast do distribute cache like bellow step.
on binary format:
put instance_1 action:
1. serialization instance_1 to binary, and save binary to store (now if you change something of instance_1 it don't effect binary on store)
get action:
1. take binary of object from store. and do deserialization become instance_2
2. return instance_2 to caller so if you change something on instance_2 it don't effect to binary on store
continue get action:
1. take binary of object from store. and do deserialization become instance_3
2. return instance_3 to caller so if you change something on instance_3 it don't effect to binary on store and instance_2
my fix will update binary after you change instance_2, so next time when you do get action, you take instance_3.
it's difference to instance_2. but it already have m_fieldAccess, so don't run query again
the point of my fix is to update object on store, so ever hazelcast.xml update format from binary to object it still work
when idempiere run as standalone (don't active any join method like default) i suggest to don't use distribute cache to save cost of deserialization process
Hi , I tested your patch in a ASP implementation.
Effectively your patch avoids the expensive query being executed several times.
However the performance of the system is a lot slower with BINARY than with the near cache set in OBJECT format.
The cache still keeps creating one object on each call, and the number of calls to MClient.get is really big.
