Bug ID: 447681
Summary: System ran out of ram while baloo_file_extractor is
indexing a huge mbox file
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a mbox file containing 10GB worth of email, baloo_file_extractor seems
to be loading the entire file into memory which fails because well... I don't
have that much memory.
I tried to debug this using strace and I could see the process was basically
copying the entire file into memory, but I could be wrong.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get an mbox file that is large
2. Put it in a folder indexed by Baloo
3. Observe baloo_file_extractor increase in memory usage
OBSERVED RESULT
baloo_file_extractor requires huge amount of ram to parse mbox files that are
large.
EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be parsed in such a way that no huge amount of memory is
needed.
