Hi Michael, I actually dont hit OOM, The memory gets 100% full and the JVM hangs. Independently what type of GC alogorithm I use. Have tried all sorts of JVM GC flags. Profiling the application with YourKit I can see that the TermInfo instances does not get freed up when the GC is done.
The application starts with around 100.000 instances of TermInfo and then its starts to accumulate around 1000 and 2000 instances per web request. This is,if I understand you right, normal but shouldn't the allocated TermInfo instances be returned after a GC? I never see the instances get freed up. The SegmentReader instances are actually just 3 arrays of SegmentReader instances.
