I did some searching to try and answer the following question and the answer is not apparent to me. I have a directory with hundreds of thousands of entries. I have an app which, due to its behavior, needs to be able to search for very large sets of users but I don’t want it to be able to get ALL users and therefore exhaust all memory on the ldap server. If the app performs a search on uid=* and the it’s a paged search, does this have a positive impact on how memory is used to handle the results so it doesn’t exhaust all memory? I’m trying to keep the scenario simple so I hope you appreciate the question I am getting at.
The primary reason for using paged results on the server side is to allow you to perform searches which otherwise would have hit the lookthrough limit, and caused high CPU spikes. It should also reduce memory usage, although I'm not sure why it should exhaust memory in the first place. Are you seeing the directory server run out of memory with these types of searches?
