Are talking about thousands, or millions. Also, it is interesting to know how many fields you consider will have them in the metadata groups.

In OpenKM professional version 7 we have changed the way on how we are storing metadata, the new database structure might prevent possible performance issue. However, we have customers with large repositories and millions of metadata fields ( I'm talking about 70 million and more into that table without performance issues. If indexes are well set and database has a good configuration the current configuration should not be problematic, really if you analyze the query what it is done in this table, always we are selecting and specific group with a specific UUID, that should be quick because there is a pair of keys indexed ).

The new database configuration in version 7 should provide better performance and some advantages when making queries by metadata values, for both reason we decided to change it, anyway community version current structure is well tested and should not have these issue.

I do not know the number of records you have in mind and the number of metadata, in case of large repositories I suggest consider professional edition. Always you will be able to promote a community edition to professional in the future, but always it is better starting in the right direction from he beginning.

5000 nodes are not much. But you are not talking about files.
