DocumentsWriter.init() doesn't grow fieldDataHash array at same rate as allFieldData array, leading to OOM errors -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1408 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1408 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Bug Components: Index Affects Versions: 2.3.2 Environment: NA Reporter: David C. Navas Priority: Minor See DocumentsWriter.init() -- line 787ish When a new field is encountered, and arrays need to be resized, the allFieldDataArray is resized to be 50% larger, and the hashArray is resized to be twice as large. Everytime. The hashArray grows much faster than the fieldData array. In addition, the fieldDataHashMask is set to be one less than the *fieldDataArray* size, rather than the hashArray. The latter problem obviously leads to under/bizarre utilization of the hash array, while the former can, under circumstances where you are using an excessive number of field columns, lead to premature OOMs (30k field columns is something like 30 million entry placeholders in the hash array, or about 120M per ThreadState). Trivial fix for both would be to change *1.5 to *2, and reset the Mask based on newHashSize, not newSize. Given you are using a mask, it looks like you want a power of two, so you can't use *1.5 everywhere, but you could resize the hash only when needed, rather than each time you resize the data array, though that would be somewhat more difficult. I made this Minor as it only affects extreme field use. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
