We have just released version 7.0.1 of the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. It is available for download from GitHub and SourceForge, and it is available in the Maven Central Repository. You can find the release notes for this release (and all previous versions) at https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/release-notes.html, but here’s a summary of the changes: We added a new MaximumIdleDurationLDAPConnectionPoolHealthCheck class that can be used to replace connections that have remained idle for longer than...

The LDAP SDK itself never throws this exception. The JVM will throw it if you've set the SO_TIMEOUT socket option (which says that a read operation should not be allowed to block for more than the specified length of time), and if an attempt to read data from the associated socket doesn't yield any results within the allotted time period. This is a completely normal condition that the JVM happens to use an exception to convey. The LDAP SDK does look for this exception being thrown, and if it encounters...

We have just released version 7.0.0 of the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. It is available for download from GitHub and SourceForge, and it is available in the Maven Central Repository. You can find the release notes for this release (and all previous versions) at https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/release-notes.html, but here’s a summary of the changes: The LDAP SDK now requires Java 8 or later. Java 7 is no longer supported. We improved the behavior of LDAP connection pools when they are configured...

The UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java is a client API that is meant for communicating with an existing LDAP server. While it does include an in-memory directory server, that is primarily meant for testing (e.g., as a convenient server for use in running unit tests for your applications) and is not intended for production use. It doesn't actually store the data anywhere except in memory, and it's not really meant for dealing with huge amounts of data.

We have just released version 6.0.11 of the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. It is available for download from GitHub and SourceForge, and it is available in the Maven Central Repository. Note that this is the last release of the LDAP SDK that will offer support for Java 7. As of the next release (which is expected to have a version of 7.0.0), the LDAP SDK will only support Java 8 and later. You can find the release notes for the 6.0.11 release (and all previous versions) at https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/release-notes.html,...

Unless there is substantial pushback with really good reasoning behind it, I intend to update the LDAP SDK to drop support for Java 7 after the next release, which should be version 6.0.11 and will likely be released sometime in December. The next release after that should be version 7.0.0 (which I suppose is an unfortunate coincidence), and it will support Java versions 8 and higher. Java 7 reached its end of support life (EOSL) last year, and it’s getting harder to support newer Java versions while...

We have just released version 6.0.10 of the UnboundID LDAP SDK for Java. It is available for download from GitHub and SourceForge, and it is available in the Maven Central Repository. You can find the release notes for the 6.0.10 release (and all previous versions) at https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/release-notes.html, but here’s a summary of the changes: We added a new ReusableReferralConnector interface that makes it possible to create referral connectors that can be reused for following multiple...

It sounds like you're at least able to get past the slowest, single-threaded first phase where it's getting the DNs of the entries. If a large number of threads is working faster for you, then that's the way to go. If it seems like the tool is getting stuck in that phase for a period of time, then jstack is still probably the best tool to use to figure out what it's trying to do. You could also look at the server logs to see if operations are taking a long time there in case it's a server-side i...
