Tim Barrett commented on TIKA-2058: ----------------------------------- Will do, just leaving now so it will be tomorrow before I get to it (I’m in Europe). In the meantime I was running it again overriding the POI libraries to the previous (.13) version - thought that would confirm that POI is the problem. > Memory Leak in Tika version 1.13 when parsing millions of files > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-2058 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2058 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.13 > Reporter: Tim Barrett > Attachments: poi-3.15-beta1-p1.jar, screenshot-1.png, > screenshot-2.png, screenshot-3.png > > > We have an application using Tika which parses roughly 7,000,000 files of > different types, many of the files are MSG files with attachments. This works > correctly with Tika 1.9, and has been in production for over a year, with > parsing runs taking place every few weeks. The same application runs into > insufficient memory problems (java heap) when using Tika 1.13. > I have used lsof and file leak detector to track down open files, however > neither shows any open files when the application is running. I did find an > issue with open files https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2015, > however there was a workaround for this and this is not the issue. > I am sorry to have to report this with a level of vagueness, but with lsof > turning nothing up I am a bit stuck as to how to investigate further. We are > more than willing to help by testing on the basis of any ideas provided. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
