[CalendarServer-users] Events more than 356 days from creation are ignored

[Peter Mogensen]

Hi,

I've noticed that DCS (1.2) will not return an event instance more than
356 days from the creation of the event in a calendar-query.

It seems to be related to Trac ticket #207 (except that it affects
non-recurring events too)

I've found that these events are not put into the TIMESPAN index, which
means that they are not returned by a search using the index.

Searches seems to not use the index when there's a time-range element in
the filter, but the exception detecting this is only thrown from the
filter expression generator for prop-filters, ... which again means that
if you don't have a prop-filter in your query, you'll get a search using
the index, which will ignore these 356+ days events.

On the other hand... if you have a prop-filter or patch the DCS source
to throw ValueError exceptions every time there's a time-range, all your
  calendar-queries will do a brute force search on all resources.
  ... in which case it might be faster for a client to just GET the
calendar resource it self.

Is this correctly observed?
If so, is this behavior excepted?

kind regards,
Peter Mogensen
