BINETIX SUPPORT TEAM commented on SVN-4796:
-------------------------------------------
Thank you for the quick response.
We shall check your patch carefully on our test environment, and, yes... we
will forward our questions to dev@ mailing list.
Regards.

> Key: SVN-4796
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4796
> Project: Subversion
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: libsvn_delta, libsvn_fs, libsvn_fs_fs, libsvn_fs_x,
> libsvn_repos, libsvn_subr
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0, 1.10.2
> Environment: Test environment:
> * Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS)
> * 8 & 16GB RAM dev environments
> * GCC/G++ 7.3.0
> * Apache Portable Runtime Library, version 1.6.3-2 amd64
> * Repositories are created on EXT4 or XFS
> * Repositories are created on SSD
> * SVN repositories` type is FSFS
> * SVN repositories` file system version is the latest for the respective API
> Reporter: BINETIX SUPPORT TEAM
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: features, ready-to-commit, usability
> Attachments: issue-4796-test-1.patch

> This is a clearly reproducible problem on SVN versions 1.10.2 and the latest
> 1.11.0.
> We found two similar issues SVN-1964, SVN-3411 closed already, but obviously
> beyond our case. So, these are just mentioned for reference.
> *Description*
> We're going to use the SVN API in order to create and then commit multiple
> transactions with multiple files. In order to simplify the scenario, within
> the code below, we will apply only 3 actions per transaction:
> # Create a transaction
> # Add only one directory or one empty file (file with content makes no
> difference)
> # Commit the transaction
> Now let`s loop many transactions like this one in sequence (no concurrent
> usage).
> After each commit SVN consumes exponentially amount of memory which is never
> released afterwords, as follows (Number of transaction - Application's memory
> usage):
> 0 - 380 kb (initial state when the application is started with 0 transactions)
> 1`000 - 20 Mb
> 2`000 - 66 Mb
> 3`000 - 120 Mb
> 4`000 - 210 Mb
> 5`000 - 320 Mb
> 6`000 - 455 Mb
> 7`000 - 607 Mb
> 8`000 - 808 Mb
> 9`000 - 1.1 Gb
> 10`000 - 1.4 Gb

> *Observations*
> Few curious facts observed during the tests:
> * If we delete the added file before committing, the transaction remains
> empty, then there is no memory leakage;
> * If we add not only one file or dir but 40`000 - 48`000 entities in one
> transaction then the files are being created VERY slowly, and the memory
> consumption is doubled or even tippled compared to the table above;
> * If we create and commit 10`000 entities (in our example) in the root
> directory (it is important to do that in the root), and we stop the
> application, then on the next application start with the same repository
> there are three cases:
> ** if we add more entities in the root again, then the memory leakage is
> increased with the same proportions, as described above, BUT,
> ** if we add more entities in subdirectory, then the memory allocation is
> stopped by 20 Mb until a threshold of about 9`000 files is reached. Above
> this relative threshold, if we add more entities in the same subdirectory
> then the memory leakage is increased again, AND FINALLY,
> ** if we add more entities in any other subdirectory below the described
> relative threshold, then there is no leakage observed. In other words, we
> create (relatively speaking) 10`000 files in the root, then we can add up to
> 9`000 in each subdirectory without memory leakage;
> * On Transaction destroy there is no memory leakage;
> Despite these observations and strange "workarounds", obviously we CAN NOT
> use Subversion in productions conditions. So we hope you will find a way to
> fix these issues.
