Tim Allison commented on TIKA-3642:
-----------------------------------
Got your file. Thank you. That was critical. What's going on is that in
tika-1.x we're defaulting to 512MB for maxMainMemory. In tika-2.x, the default
is -1. This is {*}bad{*}, and we should fix this quickly.
I was able to parse the file without a problem in 1.x with -Xmx1g, and when I
used this config in 2.x, I got the same behavior. If I didn't use this config,
I got an OOM with -Xmx2g (I didn't try higher).
