Hi All,

Firstly, Thank you for everyone whom have contributed to Jackrabbit, its a
truly wonderful API.

been using Jackrabbit 2.2.x and recently the indexes got corrupt due to some
system failure,

I thought it would be easy enough to reindex so as per instructions I
deleted the index folder in the workspaces/default folder, unfortunately
this is the 4th attempt as the indexes keep failing to rebuild.

I dont have a particularly large repository, its around 1.6TB, but he files
stored are big files. and of all sorts of the types, like multimedia, word
and man other types.

I see the indexes reach a size of around 3.9GB and then it fails I have
assigned java heap 3GB to tomcat Server as it is a 64bit system and I have
around total 6GB.

The other strange issue is that once it does fail and I restart the tomcat
it starts to rebuild the indexes from scratch again rather than from the
point it failed.

I can see a lot of Out of java heap space errors through out the
catalina.out file. the last message read 

Index.Merger.java 570: Error While Merging indexes
Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError : Java Heap Space

Can someone please help and guie me how I can get the indexes rebuilt.

I have explicitly set the mergeFactor = 10

Many Thanks

Mazhar
