[Bug 42504] New: Remove totalissues from stored MARC, embed at index time
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 30 Sep '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42504 Bug ID: 42504 Summary: Remove totalissues from stored MARC, embed at index time Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: tomascohen(a)gmail.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org ## Problem update_totalissues.pl can run for 4+ hours on large installations. The root cause is that totalissues is stored in the MARC record (942$0), requiring the full ModBiblio pipeline per biblio: MARC XML deserialization, field update, serialization, TransformMarcToKoha, DB updates, search engine reindexing, cataloguing log entries, plugin hooks, OAI sets updates. The existing UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc syspref provides real-time updates on checkout but is disabled by default because it triggers this same expensive ModBiblio pipeline on every checkout. Bug 36474 improved things by skipping unchanged records, but every changed record still pays the full cost. ## Proposal Stop storing totalissues in the MARC record. Instead: 1. UpdateTotalIssues becomes a lightweight DB-only operation: just UPDATE biblioitems SET totalissues = ? WHERE biblionumber = ? plus queue a search index update. No MARC parsing, no ModBiblio. 2. Inject 942$0 at index time via Koha::Biblio::metadata_record: Add an embed_total_issues parameter (following the existing embed_items pattern). Both search engine indexers call metadata_record to get the MARC before indexing. The value gets injected from biblioitems.totalissues on the fly, just like items are embedded today. The stored MARC in biblio_metadata stays clean. Both the ES indexer (_get_record) and Zebra's rebuild_zebra.pl -d (which already pre-processes records before sending to Zebra) would pass this flag. 3. UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc becomes cheap enough to enable by default: A DB column update plus a reindex queue entry per checkout is trivial. The Elasticsearch indexer already batches indexing tasks efficiently. 4. update_totalissues.pl is simplified: It recalculates biblioitems.totalissues from statistics/items data and triggers batch reindexing. It no longer touches MARC records at all. It should also gain a --commit option to control batch sizes for the reindex step. ## Expected impact - Real-time totalissues updates on checkout with negligible performance cost - update_totalissues.pl runtime reduced from hours to minutes (DB updates + batch reindex vs per-record ModBiblio) - No more MARC record churn for a derived counter value - Reduced action_logs noise (no cataloguing log entries for counter updates) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 42524] New: Option to calculate priorities based on reservedate when moving hold to a new record

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42524 Bug ID: 42524 Summary: Option to calculate priorities based on reservedate when moving hold to a new record Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, lisette(a)bywatersolutions.com, tomascohen(a)gmail.com Depends on: 31698 Currently, when a hold is moved to a new record the hold is placed at the end of the priority list. It would be helpful to provide an option to work the moved hold into the priority list based on when the hold was created -- the moved hold would go after older holds, before newer holds. This does present a problem if the new target record has holds whose priority has been manually changed so that they are no longer in order of age. For the merging of bib records we addressed this same issue by fully rebuilding the priority list for the new merged bib, discarding any manual priority changes and putting all holds in order of age. We could take the same approach here.

[Bug 42127] New: Inventory tool ( inventory.pl ) does not work well with very large numbers of items

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42127 Bug ID: 42127 Summary: Inventory tool ( inventory.pl ) does not work well with very large numbers of items Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kyle(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org tools/inventory.pl calls GetItemsForInventory with offset => 0 but no size parameter. In C4::Items, the LIMIT clause is conditional: $query .= " LIMIT $offset, $size" if ( $offset and $size ); Because $offset is 0, the LIMIT is never applied. The entire matching result set is loaded into memory via fetchall_arrayref({}). For a library with 500k+ items and broad filters, this easily exhausts available RAM and triggers the OOM killer. The problem is compounded when "Compare barcodes list to inventory" is checked because GetItemsForInventory is called a second time, and the second result set is duplicated into a hash, tripling the in-memory footprint. Test Plan: 1. Have a Koha instance with a large items table (500k+ items) 2. Go to Tools > Inventory 3. Select a branch but leave other filters broad 4. Check "Compare barcodes list to inventory" 5. Upload a barcode file and submit 6. Note the Plack worker's memory consumption spikes, the process may even be killed by the OOM killer I used this query to create 500,000 items: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE numbers (n INT PRIMARY KEY); INSERT INTO numbers (n) SELECT a.n + b.n*10 + c.n*100 + d.n*1000 + e.n*10000 + f.n*100000 FROM (SELECT 0 n UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9) a, (SELECT 0 n UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9) b, (SELECT 0 n UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9) c, (SELECT 0 n UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9) d, (SELECT 0 n UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9) e, (SELECT 0 n UNION SELECT 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3 UNION SELECT 4 UNION SELECT 5 UNION SELECT 6 UNION SELECT 7 UNION SELECT 8 UNION SELECT 9) f WHERE a.n + b.n*10 + c.n*100 + d.n*1000 + e.n*10000 + f.n*100000 BETWEEN 1 AND 500000; INSERT INTO items (biblionumber, biblioitemnumber, barcode, homebranch, holdingbranch, itype, notforloan, damaged, itemlost, withdrawn, itemcallnumber, cn_sort, dateaccessioned, location) SELECT b.biblionumber, b.biblioitemnumber, CONCAT('TESTBARCODE', LPAD(numbers.n, 7, '0')), br.branchcode, br.branchcode, (SELECT itemtype FROM itemtypes LIMIT 1), 0, 0, 0, 0, CONCAT('QA ', LPAD(numbers.n, 7, '0')), CONCAT('QA ', LPAD(numbers.n, 7, '0')), CURDATE(), 'GEN' FROM numbers CROSS JOIN (SELECT biblionumber, biblioitemnumber FROM biblioitems LIMIT 1) b CROSS JOIN (SELECT branchcode FROM branches LIMIT 1) br; DROP TEMPORARY TABLE numbers; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
