-----------------------------------

             Summary: Tesseract fails to respect timeouts and clean up after 
itself
                 Key: TIKA-3103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3103
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ocr
    Affects Versions: 1.24.1
            Reporter: Radim Rehurek


We're using the Tika Server with OCR:

_java -jar /pii_tools/tika/tika-server-1.24.1.jar -p 9998 -spawnChild -JXmx500m_

 

This used to work fine in previous versions (1.22, without _-spawnChild_).

But after upgrading to 1.24.1 with _-spawnChild_, two undersirable things 
happen:
 # The CPU runs at 100% for >10 minutes, long after any Tika requests should 
have finished. The processes show in _top_ as Tesseract.

They eventually die but the machine is unusable in the mean time.

*Expected behaviour:* Tika cleans up after itself: at most after its timeout 
limit (which is 2 minutes I believe?)


 # The temp is full of files like:

_-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 20 08:47 /tmp/apache-tika-6183308518561170276.tmp_
_-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140 May 20 08:48

_-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3700 May 20 08:48 
/tmp/apache-tika-6874839592996549275.tmp.txt_

slowly filling up the disk.

*Expected behaviour*: Tika cleans up after itself.

 

These bugs I critical for us so we had to revert back to 1.22. What's the best 
way to avoid these issues?
