Re: [Dspace-tech] FW: Java heap space error when trying to update a Collection
We've noticed issues with heap size as well, specifically when using the wildcard policy tool, the media filter manager, and some in-house tools that iterate over dspace objects using a single Context. When dspace objects like Item or Bitstream are instantiated, they place a reference to itself in a hash map attached to the context. So over time that map will get large. We modified the tools to clear the context cache when they were done operating on the dspace object. IIRC, methods to manage the cache weren't exposed until DSpace 1.5. I'm not sure if you are seeing the same issue or not, but this might be another thing to look at. HTH, Elliot Thornton, Susan M.

We have a 300K items collection that we cannot upgrade (only changing the description is not possible). It happens only on THAT collection (and not on the other ones in the same DSpace 1.4.2). I did not look far inside, but it seems that DSpace loads all the documents of the collection to be updated during the update! I'm not on that problem right now. -- François PARMENTIER / INIST-CNRS OpenSIGLE On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 11:13 PM, Thornton, Susan M.

Basically your instance has used up its JVM heap space and any new calls into the system results in an OutOf Memory error.

Monitor/Search your dspace logs and see if you have more occuarnces of this than this one case. It may either mean: 1.) your memory settings are too low. 2.) something is causing a memory leak, i.e. not releasing its resources or falling into infinite loops. -Mark On Sep 26, 2008, at 1:54 PM, Thornton, Susan M.
