903894 - (meta-component) Large component support

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[Simon Green]

This is a tracking bug for enabling large component support in Bugzilla. As of writing, Red Hat Bugzilla has 61,123 components. One product (Fedora) has 17,026 components. We have 16 products that have more than 1,000 components.

In comparison, BMO have only a few thousand components in total.

What do you call "large component support"? Support how? Performance, UI, other? If it's about perf, then that's mostly a dupe of bug 706183.

Two things:
1) Components.id does not allow more than 32767 components. As mentioned in comment 0, we have nearly twice that
2) UI changes. Pages like 'My Requests' and the Add Custom Fields and Flags pages in the admin section give Javascript taking to long warnings because the page sucks up the whole list of product to component mappings. I'll be filing a bug for each separate page I change rather than having a mega patch for all them.
