Confluence Docs 3.3 : How to Improve User Search Performance
This page last changed on Oct 07, 2008 by smaddox.
If your Confluence instance contains thousands of user accounts and you are experiencing performance issues when searching for users, the following migration guide is for you. BackgroundIn Confluence 2.1, we introduced a new system for user management inside Confluence (atlassian-user) that was more powerful than the previous system (OSUser). However, to avoid potential upgrade issues, we continued to use OSUser when storing users in the local Confluence database. The native atlassian-user storage format provides much more efficient searching, and greatly improves the performance of user administration and Confluence's 'user picker' pop-up. We plan on migrating all Confluence instances to the new format around version 2.6 or 2.7, but until then Confluence instances with large numbers of users can still take advantage of these performance improvements by performing the migration manually.
