Last change on this file since 18370 was 18370, checked in by kjdon, 15 years ago

committed code submitted by Amin Hedjazi for making the GLI right to left. I worked on this code on the rtl-gli branch, then merged the branch back to the trunk at revision 18368. The branch code was slightly different in a couple of places where it shouldn't have been. So don't use the branch code next time. Start a new branch.

53/** The MetaAuditFrame provides a table view of all of the metadata assigned to a selection of CollectionTreeNodes. All values for a certain file and a certain metadata element appear in the same cell. This table can be sorted by any column, and also has a MS Excel-like AutoFilter allowing you to restrict the rows visible to only those that match a certain set of criteria (applied to each column, and then 'ANDED', or cojoined, to determine the filter). Finally this dialog does not block the Gatherer tool, so the file selection can be changed and the dialog will just generate a new table dynamically.<BR>
54 * Much effort has gone into optimizing this table, as it quickly becomes slow and unresponsive to build/filter/sort when the number of records selected is high. However its performance is still nowhere as good as the Excel spreadsheet, and selections of 1000+ records can cause some serious waiting problems. Performance progression, shown in terms of time taken to perform action, are shown below. Note that building includes both the creation of the data model, and/or the time taken to lay out row and column sizes (due to this using multiple entry cells). Also all tables, by default, must be sorted by one column, which is initially the first column in ascending order:<BR><BR>

78 * It is easy to see that while building and sorting have become quite fast and reasonable, sorting is still unacceptable in terms of performance. The difficulty is this, that while sorting is easy (and fast) to implement via the Decorator pattern (making the overall table model a MDVC one) it requires the entire contents of a column to be available. Thus no matter the speed of your sort algorithm you will end up making N calls to getValueAt() in the table data model, for N records. This is not a problem for the initial model, hence the small sort times. However when you attempt to place another deocrator model (or modify the existing one) in order to filter only selected rows, even if the filtering itself takes little time, this little time quickly grows to unacceptable levels. In fact testing has shown it to grow much faster than linear time (though I'm not sure where). Doubling the number of records to filter increases the processing time by 5-7 times.<BR>
79 * In attempting to solve this problem, I have found many resources that mention a similar problem when trying to build visual representations of database tables, especially over networks or other temporally-non-deterministic connections. The common solution is to 'page' only those records necessary into memory on demand, thus making initial response significantly faster, while paying a small price for subsequent page seeks. There are even studies and algorithms for determining pages loads etc, I would imagine garnered from the memory management community. However none of these really help me usless I can get around the problem of having to have the entire columns population immeditaly accessable for sorting purposes.<BR>
80 * I believe with more time is would be possible to make a hybrid table model with properties such as you would require for the aforemenetioned database application, but which also provides fast methods for determining the highest and lowest records perhaps by building traversable heaps in the original model. Such a solution would incur a build penalty, and could consume significant memory, but would provide ordered and sequential access to the data within.<BR>
81 * The discussion aside, I have run out of time to do anything further on this, so will include as is, and provide a warning dialog whenever the number of records might suffer slow processing (1000+ records).
