[Pulp-list] Unit Association Query Stress Test Report

[Jay Dobies]

https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/GCUnitAssociationsStressTests

I've been saying all week that looking up units in a repo and being able 
to sort/filter/limit/skip them is pretty critical to a ton of different 
areas of v2. The page above contains my notes from the process of stress 
testing it.

The biggest issue so far has been sorting. Depending on what you're 
sorting, it's either done at the association level or the individual 
unit metadata level. The ability to sort is contingent on the size of 
the documents and indexes.

That page breaks down the ways to trigger different code executions 
depending on what the user is asking. It's also got a big report 
generated from my stress test setup that describes the conditions under 
which each sort category start to break down. This will be pretty 
important when telling people how to best write type definitions to 
answer the expected needs for that type.

It's been a pretty neat Mongo learning experience. Ping me with any 
questions. I'm still working on it, but I'm starting to feel reasonably 
confident that we'll be able to fulfil common user views on this data.
