Hibernate Slow to Acquire Postgres Connection
I'm having a really difficult time debugging this problem. Whenever I try to establish a connection with postgres, it takes a whole minute. After the connection is established, everything is fine. I've tried disabling all the mappings and not loading any, but still the connection takes a long time to aquire. I've also tried disabling validation, no difference. When I use a simple a simple JDBC connection, it's instantaneous. Hibernate is doing something which takes considerable amount of time and I can't seem to narrow it down. Any input is greatly appreciated!
Postgres Driver:
postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar
Configuration settings:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<!-- properties -->
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://xxxx.com:5432/xxxxx</property>
<property name="connection.username">xxxxxxx</property>
<property name="connection.password">xxxxxxx</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Additional settings in code:
config.setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", hbm2ddlMode);
//config.setProperty("hibernate.cache.use_query_cache", "true");
config.setProperty("hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache", "true");
//config.setProperty("hibernate.cache.region.factory_class", "net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory");
config.setProperty("hibernate.cache.provider_class", "org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider");
//config.setProperty("hibernate.cache.provider_class", "org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider");
config.setProperty("hibernate.jdbc.fetch_size", "100");
config.setProperty("hibernate.jdbc.batch_size", "30");
config.setProperty("hibernate.jdbc.use_scrollable_resultset", "true");
config.setProperty("hibernate.connection.provider_class", "org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider");
config.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment", "1");
config.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period", "0");
config.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.min_size", "1");
config.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.max_size", "2");
config.setProperty("hibernate.c3p0.timeout", "0");
config.setProperty("javax.persistence.validation.mode", "none");
Here's the segment of code where the delay occurs:
private SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() throws Exception {
ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(config.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();
//Building session takes a whole minute without mappings!!!
sessionFactory = config.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
validateConnection();
return sessionFactory;
}
Here's the log results:

I've done a little more research on this, stepping through the debugger. I don't have all the source in my classpath, but i can still see the variables. Durring that one minute wait, Hibernate is querying the pg_catalog.pg_type table:
[SELECT typname FROM pg_catalog.pg_type WHERE oid = , ]
Here's a screenshot:
Answer
I fixed it =) I really had to root around to find the answer for this one. Basically, it comes down to loading metadata and the JDBC driver. It's loading ALL META DATA, including comments beside sql columns and other various constructs, which are not needed for operation. I don't know why this is on by default but you should definitely turn this feature off unless you explicitly need it:
config.setProperty("hibernate.temp.use_jdbc_metadata_defaults","false");
Instant connection now!
The only info I could find on this is in code:
107 // 'hibernate.temp.use_jdbc_metadata_defaults' is a temporary magic value.
108 // The need for it is intended to be alleviated with future development, thus it is
109 // not defined as an Environment constant...
110 //
111 // it is used to control whether we should consult the JDBC metadata to determine
112 // certain Settings default values; it is useful to *not* do this when the database
113 // may not be available (mainly in tools usage).
114 boolean useJdbcMetadata = ConfigurationHelper.getBoolean( "hibernate.temp.use_jdbc_metadata_defaults", configValues, true );
