Performance issues when using api/resources/filter_by_checksums #551

Description

@JonoYang

On certain large purldb instances, when using the api/resources/filter_by_checksums endpoint via the scancode.io map_deploy_to_develop pipeline, the match_to_purldb_resource step is very slow and can take +30 hours to complete.

After debugging, we found that the two biggest reasons for the slowness are:

  • Ordering of Resources, a lot of CPU time is spent ordering resources from a query
  • Decoding large JSON fields, a lot of time is spent parsing JSON fields if they are too big, like the history field on Package

Immediate solutions that come to mind:

  • Remove ordering for Resources
  • Create proper History model for Package, expedient thing would be to empty history json field. Look into using .only() on queries.
