Alan Burlison commented on TIKA-1471:
-------------------------------------
I think you'd probably have to look at performance to see if there's any
difference between calling it after every document or every N documents - I'm
guessing every time is simplest.
I logged the issue just so you and people using Tika knew there was a potential
OOM with PDFBox 1.6, as you say it's already fixed in later PDFBox issues, so I
think there's nothing more to be done here. I'll mark it as resolved, and
thanks again for your help.
> OOM with corrupt PDF file
> -------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-1471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1471
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: general
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Environment: Linux, JVM 1.8.0_25-b17, 64-bit
> Reporter: Alan Burlison
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.7
>
>
> Use of PDFBox 1.8.6 by Tika 1.6 is causing OOM errors with corrupt PDF files,
> due to a bug in PDFBox, see PDFBOX-2493. This makes Tika 1.6 unusable from
> inside a long-running webapp and I've had to revert to Tika 1.5. Although 1.5
> also throws errors with the corrupt file it does not cause OOM errors.
