Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-1566:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Could we move the fix down into SimpleFSDir.FSIndexInput? We are only
hitting it with norms today, but in the future if we read other large things
from the index (eg with column-stride fields) we'd like the workaround to apply
there as well.
sure!
bq. Can we turn it on by default, only on 32 bit JREs?
good point! - will try to do so.
bq. I think you can read directly into the norms byte[], instead of allocating
a temp buffer, as long as you read in smaller chunks. From the email thread it
looked like smaller was up to ~100 MB, which I think is fine to simply do by
default. Maybe offer a setter (instead of static property) to turn this
workaround on/off in SimpleFSDir.
I did hit the error while I did that but I will verify again.
Thanks for the comments thats why I hacked it together and did throw it out
ASAP. Will look at it tomorrow.

> Key: LUCENE-1566
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1566
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Index
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1

> This is not a Lucene issue, but I want to open this so future google
> diggers can more easily find it.
> There's this nasty bug in Sun's JRE:
> http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6478546
> The gist seems to be, if you try to read a large (eg 200 MB) number of
> bytes during a single RandomAccessFile.read call, you can incorrectly
> hit OOM. Lucene does this, with norms, since we read in one byte per
> doc per field with norms, as a contiguous array of length maxDoc().
> The workaround was a custom patch to do large file reads as several
> smaller reads.
