Minutes

Islandora PR Roundup

Improve query speed for IslandoraUtils::getTermForUri() #1067

https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/1067

Joe found that the query being run is ineffecient, especially if you ahve a lot of external authority items.

Adam is working on a unified solution.

Seth: We have code on our site that avoids calling this utility because it's so slow if there are thousands of external URIs.

Islandora DevOps PR Round-up

[minor] add Dockerfile healthchecks to some core services by joecorall · Pull Request #370 · Islandora-Devops/isle-buildkit

https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/isle-buildkit/pull/370

Joe says it's just a minor issue.

Islandora DevOps Issue Round-Up

Dependency Dashboard   #368

https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/isle-buildkit/issues/368

Adam suggested maybe filtering this out of the round-up.

Extra discussion

Lauren asked about another slow query issue:

https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/issues/1055

This does not seem related to the other one being discussed.

Adam suggests there are a lot of LEFT JOINs, Seth and Joe mentioned this is an inherent Drupal problem. Joe mentioned that Taxonomy module solves the problem by adding an index field.

Adam suggested creating a table to flatten the relationship between Nodes and Files.

Joe suggests this might be worth finding a general solution to since most peopple have their own workarounds.
