Yes. It's definitely strict in the accumulator and your `Map` fold looks correct to me. As a side, note you should probably be building a `Set` instead of a `Map`.

Are you sure that it's the map that is leaking space? You should profile your heap using the instructions here:

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/prof-heap.html

Also, how  are `bslines` and `toVector` implemented?

Sorry for another beginner's question, but is P.fold strict or lazy on its accumulator?

In the documentation it says that it is "Strict fold of the elements of a 'Producer'", but here is what I see:

I have a big CSV file (50M rows), and one of the columns contains about 4.5M unique values. I fold these values into a Data.Map.Strict:

    names :: Producer ByteString IO ()
    names = bslines
            >-> P.map toVector
            >-> P.map (V.! 25)
    main :: IO ()
    main = do
m <- P.fold (\s a -> if M.member a s then s else M.insert a 1 s) M.empty id names
      Prelude.print $ M.size m
      Prelude.print $ M.findMax m
      Prelude.print "ok"

The output suggests that the map is of the right size, and the max element is correct. This takes ~6.4GB of RAM.

Now I extract these 4.5M unique values into a separate file and run the same code again (only the column index is changing, nothing else). The output is the same (same size, same max element), except that now it only takes 1.2GB of RAM to run.

Am I right suspecting that laziness causes this issue? But where and how can I fix it?

Cheers,
Alexey.
