---------------------------------
Summary: Make tika-server robust against ooms/infinite
loops/memory leaks
Key: TIKA-2725
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2725
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Tim Allison
Assignee: Tim Allison
Currently, tika-server is vulnerable to ooms, inifinite loops and memory leaks.
I see two ways of making it robust:
1) use the ForkParser
2) have tika-server spawn a child process that actually runs the server, put a
watcher thread in the child that will kill the child on oom/timeout/after x
files. The parent process can then restart the child if it dies.
I somewhat prefer 2) so that we don't have to doubly pass the inputstream. I
propose 2), and I propose making it optional in Tika 1.x, but then the default
in Tika 2.x. We could also add a status ping from parent to child in case the
child gets caught up in stop the world gc (h/t [~bleskes]).
Other options/recommendations?
