Spring JPA Async Save

Time:10-16

I'm trying to save a large List ( 100K items) created from an XLS file with the CrudRepository.saveAll() method. Because of data size, the saveAll method takes a long time to run, so I'm trying to partition the list using Apache Commons Collections ListUtils.partition and calling the saveAll method in a loop, to improve performance:

public interface ClaimsSegmentRepository extends CrudRepository<ClaimsSegment, String> {}

public class FileLoaderService {
    @Async("asyncFileLoadExecutor")
    public CompletableFuture<List<String>> loadFile(String fileName) throws Exception {
        for(List<ClaimsSegment> claimsSegmentGrp : ListUtils.partition(claimsSegmentList, MAX_PARTITION_SIZE)) {
            CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> claimSegmentRepo.saveAll(claimsSegmentGrp))
                .thenAccept(claimSegmentList -> {
                   //Processing child objects for Claim Segment List
                });
    }
}

This is throwing the error HHH000010: On release of batch it still contained JDBC statements, so I read some more online and saw this recommendation for my repo class:

public interface ClaimsSegmentRepository extends CrudRepository<ClaimsSegment, String> {
    @Async
    <S extends ClaimsSegment> CompletableFuture<S> saveAll()
}

However, that is resulting in a compilation error complaining about return type mismatch:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException:
    Error creating bean with name 'loadController':
        Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'loaderSvc'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:

The @Async annotation works fine for the find methods, but not for save and saveAll. Could someone please point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

To get a bulk insert with Spring Boot and Spring Data JPA you need only two things:

  1. set the option spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.batch_size to appropriate value you need (for example: 20)
  2. use saveAll() method of your repo with the list of entities prepared for inserting.

Working example is here.
