: I really got no OOM. You said you are doing sorts right? ... most likley the FieldCache is being used, it maintains a WeakHashMap to large arrays keyed off of your IndexReader, so if you are constantly opening new readers/searchers then those old refs will stay arround in the FieldCache ntill garbase collection runs.
the question becomes: what exaclty is the problem? You tell the JVM how much RAM it's allowed to use, and it uses it -- it makes the choices about when to clear up stuff that isn't in use any more (like these field caches) ... even if you were using the FieldCache, and you were just allocating a new IndexSearcher every second and then throwing it away the JVM isn't required to clean those up anytime soon -- just to make sure that once it has used up all the RAM you've told it it can have, it reclaims anything you're done with before crashing. SO like i said: what's the problem? -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
