NHibernate - three bidirectional relations between three classes gives N+1
I'm having bit complicated object model that forms a triangle. There is User
entity that has collections of Items
and Taxonomies
. Item
has a taxonomy, too. And for convenience, I wanted Item
and Taxonomy
to know its owner and Taxonomy
to know its Item
, if any. See diagram:
So this makes three bi-directional relations. My problem is when I map it in NHibernate like that and asking for user with given ID, I'm getting Select N+1 problem.
At first, User
is loaded with eagerly fetched Items
. Then Taxonomies
are loaded with eagerly fetched Item
connected to it. And this is as expected and as defined in mappings. But now there is N+1 queries to load Items
related with Taxonomies
.
This is redundant as all parts of object graph was already loaded. Thie problem disappears when I make my User-Item
relation unidirectional from User
side (there are only 2 queries, as expected), but I don't want to remove that backward relationship. Is it possible to have optimal fetching with all three relations bidirectional?
Here are my mapping parts:
public class UserOverride : IAutoMappingOverride<User>
{
public void Override(AutoMapping<User> mapping)
{
mapping.HasMany(x => x.Items).Inverse()
.Not.LazyLoad().Fetch.Join();
mapping.HasMany(x => x.Taxonomies).Inverse()
.LazyLoad().Fetch.Select();
}
}
public class ItemOverride : IAutoMappingOverride<Item>
{
public void Override(AutoMapping<Item> mapping)
{
mapping.References(x => x.Taxonomy); // many-to-one
}
}
public class TaxonomyOverride : IAutoMappingOverride<Taxonomy>
{
public void Override(AutoMapping<Taxonomy> mapping)
{
mapping.HasOne(x => x.Item).PropertyRef(x => x.Taxonomy)

}
}
And I query my database the simplest possible way:
var user = session.Get<User>(1);
Because mappings will effect all queries, I like to live by the rule that mappings should only be changed to eagerly load if an entity is NEVER useful without an other entity. In your situation, if you ever just want Users, and could care less about the Item and the Taxonomy records, you will be doing extra database work for no benefit.
I would advise you perform the eager loading via the other route- in your query.
Session.QueryOver<User>().Where(u => u.Id == 1)
.join.QueryOver<Items>(u => u.Items)
.Join.QueryOver<Taxonomy>(i => i.Taxonomy)
.TransformUsing(Trasnformers.DistinctRootEntity);
