使用父/子上下文时,批处理大小不起作用

Question

我已经能够在我的应用程序上确认这一点,并且我创建了一个快速示例应用程序来确认这一点.这是设置:

您有两个托管对象上下文:

masterMOC: NSPrivateQueueConcurrencyType, tied to persistent store coordinator
mainMOC: NSMainQueueConcurrencyType, child of masterMOC, NOT tied to any store coordinator

此设置的灵感来自WWDC视频,它建议我们可以通过将其设置masterMOC为专用队列并将其绑定到持久性存储来保存后台线程.如果你设置了一个NSFetchedResultsController使用mainMOC(并且它必须是mainMOC那个与UI绑定的那个),并设置a fetchBatchSize,则忽略批量大小并且所有实体立即出现故障.我启用了SQLite调试注释,当滚动数千行(批量大小为20)时,没有任何错误被触发.

如果我进行一个简单的调整,即将持久性存储协调器绑定到mainMOC并使其成为根上下文(即,它不再是master的子节点),那么批量大小完美地工作,并且当我滚动数千行时,几个故障被解雇了.

这是预期的行为吗？我错过了什么吗？

文档中对嵌套上下文的讨论很有限,它只出现在"适用于iOS v5.0的核心数据发行说明"中,并且在UIManagedDocument.关于获取和嵌套上下文的唯一注释是:

获取和保存操作由父上下文而不是协调器调解.

鉴于缺乏与嵌套上下文批量提取功能相关的任何免责声明,我建议不要求批量提取和嵌套上下文不兼容.然而,这似乎是这种情况,因为最基本的例子不起作用.(参见下面的测试代码).

还有一个开放的雷达提交描述了同样的问题:http://openradar.appspot.com/11235622,以及FetchedResultsControllers和嵌套上下文中提到的其他问题:当推送(保存)子 ManagedObjectContext 进行更改时实体的重复给它的父母.

一种可能的部分解决方案可能是一个额外添加NSManagedObjectContext的NSMainQueueConcurrencyType直接向同一NSPersistentStoreCoordinator服务于的唯一目的NSFetchedResultsController.然后,当用户选择项目时,可以将ObjectID交还给嵌套的子上下文,然后可以在嵌套的上下文中执行任何后续编辑.

这显然降低了使用嵌套上下文的好处,并且需要更频繁地保存以在嵌套上下文和NSFetchedResultsControllers上下文之间进行同步.但是,根据应用程序的设计以及嵌套上下文与批量加载的相对优势,这可能很有用.(参见下面的示例代码)

测试代码显示嵌套上下文中最简单的案例批量提取失败:

#import "AppDelegate.h"

// Xcode 4.3.3:
// Create a new iOS Master-Detail project called "BatchTest" tick the "Use Core Data" check box.
// Delete all files except the AppDelegate and the BatchTest data model (leave supporting files).
// Delete all properties and methods from AppDelegate.h
// Paste this code into AppDelegate.m
// Switch on core data debugging by editing the "BatchTest" scheme and adding 
//   -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug 1
// To the "arguments passed on launch" list in the "Run" step
// Run.

    NSURL *storeURL = [appDocsDirectory URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"BatchTest.sqlite"];

    NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *coordinator = [[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:model];

    parentContext.persistentStoreCoordinator = coordinator;

        [parentContext save:nil];
        [parentContext reset];
    }];

    [childContext reset];

        // Fetch from the parent.
        NSArray *results = [parentContext executeFetchRequest:request error:nil];
        NSLog(@"Object 500: %@", [results objectAtIndex:500]);
        // Result is 1000 primary keys fetched, followed by a batch of 10 rows to find event 500.

    }];

    return YES;

示例代码显示使用其他上下文来NSFetchedResultsController进行批处理工作:

#import "AppDelegate.h"

// Xcode 4.3.3:
// Create a new iOS Master-Detail project called "BatchTest" tick the "Use Core Data" check box.
// Delete all files except the AppDelegate and the BatchTest data model (leave supporting files).

// Run.

@interface AppDelegate () {

    NSManagedObjectContext *editingContext;
    NSManagedObjectContext *fetchedResultsControllerContext;
