[JIRA] (JENKINS-15653) Filter changes by viewspec

[rob.pe...@gmail.com (JIRA)]

Rob Petti commented on JENKINS-15653 Filter changes by viewspec I compared fstat performance on several systems across several versions of perforce (including 2012.1) and they all perform poorly compared to describe -s. This makes a lot of sense to me, since fstat needs to query several databases in order to get the information it needs, whereas describe just needs to query one or two. Performance aside, I suggested using client-side filtering because it's actually easier and quicker to implement. The filtering code is already in the plugin, and is being actively used for some features. It would be far simpler to just use that instead of writing a new parsing algorithm to handle fstat output. Just my 2c... I honestly don't mind how it's implemented as long as it doesn't break anything.
