Dear Users!
I would like to know whether GeoServer has any issues if the number of stores or layers exceed a great number. In my app there will be around 15000 stores and the same amount of layers.
Do I have to worry about something?
I saw a post recently: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/49765/geoserving-thousands-of-rasters-is-there-a-limit-on-the-number-of-images
The writer says that he had problems after 3000 stores. The answerer recommends a plugin called jdbcconfig, but this is not present in the version I use (2.4.4). As a matter of fact, I can’t find it at all. I can only see geoserver-2.4.4-imagemosaic-jdbc-plugin.zip
Is this it?
Best

I am not aware of a defined limit, Andrea may be the more authoritative
person on this.
Anyway given your number I guess most of your datastore are for shapefiles
or raster, I would be surprised you conenct to 15000 DBMS 
Then can't you consolidate them?
If you have a lot of shapefile can you group them in a set of folders.
The same for raster data.
Cheers,
Stefano

There are no built-in limits, but of course, the store/layers you try to
handle, the slower GeoServer will become,
as the in memory data structures are unfortunately not setup for fast
lookups, they mostly do linear scans (we should fix that).
The jdbcconfig is a community module, you can find it among the nightly
builds.
Not sure at which point it becomes faster than the in memory system,
especially for OGC requests, but if you
are using a separate database (e.g., postgis) I'd expect the threshold to
be pretty high.
Maybe the jdbcconfig developers could shed some light on its performance
characteristics.
