I am using Spring Data JPA as the persistence layer and I'm facing the N+1 problem. I'm also using the Specifications API because of which I'm finding difficult to solve N+1 problem. Please help.
@Entity
public class PopulationHealth {
@Id
private int caseId;
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "caseId", fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private List<CostSaving> costSavings;
}
public class CostSaving {
@Id
private int caseId;
}
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public interface PopulationHealthRepository extends JpaRepository<PopulationHealth, Integer>, JpaSpecificationExecutor<PopulationHealth> {
Page<PopulationHealth> findAll(Specification<PopulationHealth> spec, Pageable pageable);
}
In the below class, the root.join() method, I added this later, this creates the left join in the query but, N+1 problem still happens. Please refer to below log output:
public class PopulationHealthSearchSpec implements Specification<PopulationHealth> {
private List<PopulationHealthCriteriaDto> criteria;
public PopulationHealthSearchSpec() {
criteria = new ArrayList<>();
}
public void addCriteria(List<PopulationHealthCriteriaDto> criteria) {
this.criteria.addAll(criteria);
}
@Override
public Predicate toPredicate(Root<PopulationHealth> root, CriteriaQuery<?> query, CriteriaBuilder cb) {
List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<>();
criteria.forEach(p -> {
SearchOperation operation = p.getOperation();
root.join("costSavings", JoinType.LEFT);
switch (operation) {
case GREATER_THAN:
predicates.add(cb.greaterThan(root.get(p.getKey().toString()), convertToDate(p.getValue())));
break;
case GREATER_THAN_EQUAL:
predicates.add(cb.greaterThanOrEqualTo(root.get(p.getKey().toString()), convertToDate(p.getValue())));
break;
case LESS_THAN:
predicates.add(cb.lessThan(root.get(p.getKey().toString()), convertToDate(p.getValue())));
break;
case LESS_THAN_EQUAL:
predicates.add(cb.lessThanOrEqualTo(root.get(p.getKey().toString()), convertToDate(p.getValue())));
break;
case EQUAL:
predicates.add(cb.equal(root.get(p.getKey().toString()), p.getValue()));
break;
case NOT_EQUAL:
predicates.add(cb.notEqual(root.get(p.getKey().toString()), p.getValue()));
break;
case IN:
predicates.add(getInPredicates(cb, root, p));
break;
case NOT_IN:
predicates.add(getInPredicates(cb, root, p).not());
break;
}
});
return cb.and(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[0]));
}
Log Output with N+1 queries. The first query has a Left join But still there is N+1 problem.

After using the fetch() instead of a join() in the Specification class, I get below issue:
