---------------------------------
Summary: Memory Leak in Tika version 1.13 when parsing millions of
files
Key: TIKA-2058
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2058
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.13
Reporter: Tim Barrett
We have an application using Tika which parses roughly 7,000,000 files of
different types, many of the files are MSG files with attachments. This works
correctly with Tika 1.9, and has been in production for over a year, with
parsing runs taking place every few weeks. The same application runs into
insufficient memory problems (java heap) when using Tika 1.13.
I have used lsof and file leak detector to track down open files, however
neither shows any open files when the application is running. I did find an
issue with open files https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2015, however
there was a workaround for this and this is not the issue.
I am sorry to have to report this with a level of vagueness, but with lsof
turning nothing up I am a bit stuck as to how to investigate further. We are
more than willing to help by testing on the basis of any ideas provided.
