Improving performance: How can I archive Grails Domain Class

Question

I am running a blog site built on top of grails. Over the time the mysql database is growing. The database has a table name 'post'. This table contains almost 1 million entries. Querying this table is becoming very time consuming.

Now I am trying to split the table and want to archive old entries. So that complicated database queries take less time.

What I am trying to accomplish is something like this,

class Post{
    //... properties
}

class PostArchive extends Post{

}

Will this approach increase performance? Is there any plugin available for accomplish these type of task?

Answer 1

We create an abstract domain with our core setup and then extend from that. So you would have

abstract class BasePost {

class Post extends BasePost{

class PostArchive extends BasePost{
