Tim Smith commented on LUCENE-2283:
-----------------------------------
bq. I agree. I'll mull over how to do it... unless you're planning on consing
up a patch
I'd love to, but don't have the free cycles at the moment :(
bq. How many threads do you pass through IW?
honestly don't 100% know about the origin of the threads i'm given
In general, they should be from a static pool, but may be dynamically allocated
if the static pool runs out
One thought i had recently was to control this more tightly by having a limited
number of static threads that called IndexWriter methods in case that was the
issue (but that would be a pretty big change)
> Possible Memory Leak in StoredFieldsWriter
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-2283
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2283
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1
> Reporter: Tim Smith
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 3.1
>
>
> StoredFieldsWriter creates a pool of PerDoc instances
> this pool will grow but never be reclaimed by any mechanism
> furthermore, each PerDoc instance contains a RAMFile.
> this RAMFile will also never be truncated (and will only ever grow) (as far
> as i can tell)
> When feeding documents with large number of stored fields (or one large
> dominating stored field) this can result in memory being consumed in the
> RAMFile but never reclaimed. Eventually, each pooled PerDoc could grow very
> large, even if large documents are rare.
> Seems like there should be some attempt to reclaim memory from the PerDoc[]
> instance pool (or otherwise limit the size of RAMFiles that are cached) etc
