Performance issues in classification design ..

[Former Member]

I am in the process of creating a classification catalog for one of our clients. It looks like we will end up having around 600+ attributes in a deep hierarchy (say 20).We will use mysql as DB. Will this cause any performance issues in the search , product detail page ?

Any advice (conventions,bestpractices) for designing classification system?

I would recommend to have a look at following documentation: https://wiki.hybris.com/display/release5/Classification+Guide

I think, in particular, you might be interested in understanding the concept of category feature, which makes hybris classification system pretty efficient.
