Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-636: ------------------------------------ As a related point, see TIKA-416 for a solution that can be used to prevent an OOM caused by a parsing process from wreaking havoc in your JVM. Instead of reducing memory consumption, TIKA-416 sandboxes the parser to a separate JVM process where it can safely fail with OOM or other errors. > Taking very high heap space while parsing docx - Resulting in OOM in tha app > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-636 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-636 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: parser > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Environment: Linux box > JDK 1.6 > Reporter: Jayesh K Rajpurohit > > I am using Tika-core-0.9 jar and poi 3.2-Final jar and poi-3.7 jars for > parsing the documents. But while parsing 3MB docx it is using 500 MB of RAM > space which is too high resulting in OOM in the application. > Do I have to tweak in at some place for reducing down the memory consumption. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
