Joakim Erdfelt commented on MRM-239:
------------------------------------
After running archiva through YourKit Java Profiler, I found 4 places that need
help .... badly.
# DefaultReportingStore
# DirectoryScanner
# DefaultArtifactDiscoverer
# DefaultMetadataDiscoverer
What it comes down to is *bad* memory utilization, with the ability to *spike*
22MB to 45MB in a few seconds depending on what you are doing.
The Discoverer process is the one most at fault, the whole notion of using the
DirectoryScanner and maintaining a list of Files in memory for the entire
repository is just insane. And this Discoverer process can exist in multiple
places at once, using even more memory that is needed.
The DefaultReportStore uses an XML based store for failures, warnings, and
notices about artifacts and metadata. This Maps within Map of information kept
in memory can also spike the memory very agressively.
I have started a branch -
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/archiva/branches/archiva-MRM-239 to work
on correcting these deficiencies in the archiva codebase.
Watch for changes in archiva-discoverer and archiva-reports-standard.
> OutOfMemory error when running Arhiva for days at a time

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: system
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Linux and Mac OS X
> Reporter: Greg Luck
> Assigned To: Joakim Erdfelt
> Attachments: health-report.xml

>
> I have been running Archiva as it existed in snapshot 20 November 2006.
> When running in Tomcat with the standard memory setting it fails after a few
> days.
> Increasing -Xmx=128m increases the time but it still gets and OutOfMemory
> error after a few days.
> This is with no activity. I came back today after the weekend and hit refresh
> on a Pom page and it gave the OOM. It seems to be time dependent. At home I
> have been running it on Mac OS X. I saw an OutOfMemory error after a week. I
> did even go to a page to check it. The running console had it.
> To reproduce simply run up archiva and leave it running.
> We are working around with a nightly restart.
