Chetan Mehrotra commented on OAK-3000: -------------------------------------- bq. I guess to avoid out of memory, and to give more reasonable results, we should change the highlighter to use a BitField to remember which characters are to be highlighted [~tmueller] I am not sure weather we should further invest in SimpleExcerptProvider. Instead we should switch to Lucene based highlighter which should be more feature rich and robust > SimpleExcerptProvider causes OOM for some wildcard expressions > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OAK-3000 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-3000 > Project: Jackrabbit Oak > Issue Type: Bug > Components: query > Reporter: Chetan Mehrotra > Fix For: 1.3.1, 1.2.3, 1.0.16 > > Attachments: OAK-3000.patch > > > {{SimpleExcerptProvider}} would cause OOM is the search expression involves > wildcard in following form > bq. fox * > This causes an infinite loop leading to OOM -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
