Hello, everyone,

We've been doing trial ingests of sets of objects, and we're running
into a problem with Mulgara using extreme amounts of  memory. Our
total working set was approximately 2.2 million FOXML files, but I
segmented them into 20 sets.  Shortly after beginning an ingest of one
of these sets, the Fedora java process would allocate over 10 GB of
virtual memory, and as the hours progressed, RSIZE would exceed the
Xmx setting for the JVM by 4x or so, and the machine would fall over
into swap. This slowed down ingest considerably. Interestingly, the
shared RAM value for the Fedora process would be some large percentage
of the RSIZE, for example, like 80%, and I attached Netbeans' heap
profiler to Tomcat and didn't notice anything taking up an inordinate
amount of space.

I turned off the Resource Index for the remainder of the batches and
then attempted a reindex afterward, and even the fedora-rebuild.sh
process consumed far more memory than the heap allocation:

VSIZE: 9.9g
RSIZE: 2.9g
SHARED: 2.4g
Xmx for fedora-rebuild.sh: 512m
(No other JVM args for that script were altered)

The rebuild was still progressing, but the machine had fallen into
swap again, so I halted it and brought Fedora back up without the
Resource Index.

Some system info:

uname -a:
Linux fedora01.nypl.net 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT
2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

java -version:
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)

Fedora version: 3.1

Anybody know of any magic buttons I should press? Should I attempt to
update to 3.2 to see if my issues go away?

Thanks for any advice anyone may be able to provide,

Michael Della Bitta
