How big are your actual Documents? Are you caching Hits? It stores, internally, up to 200 documents.

Will,

Thanks for your response.  It may be an object leak.
I will look into that.

I just ran some more tests and this time I create a
20GB index by repeatedly merging my large index into
itself.

When I ran my test query against that index I got an
OutOfMemoryError on the very first query.  I have my
heap set to 512MB.  Should a query against a 20GB
index require that much memory?  I page through the
results 100 at a time, so I should never have more
than 100 Document objects in memory.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

This sounds like a memory leakage situation.  If you

would suggest you make sure you are on a recent
version, as it is known to
have some memory leaks in version 4.  It doesn't
make sense that repeated
queries would use more memory that the most
demanding query unless objects
are not getting freed from memory.

Subject: Memory usage


Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has had problems with
memory
usage and MultiSearcher.

My index is composed of two sub-indexes that I
search
with a MultiSearcher.  The total size of the index
is
about 3.7GB with the larger sub-index being 3.6GB
and
the smaller being 117MB.

I am using Lucene 1.3 Final with the compound file
format.

Also I search across about 50 fields but I don't use
wildcard or range queries.

Doing repeated searches in this way seems to
eventually chew up about 500MB of memory which seems
excessive to me.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could look to
reduce the memory my queries consume?

Thanks,

Jim
