Hi Sangri, How big is the XML file you're trying to parse?
If you find it's large (on the order of 100s of MBs-1GBs), it's certainly possible it could take a while (depending on your underlying machine architecture) to parse it. If you need to increase the heap size for Tika, you would do it the same way you would do any program using the JVM, e.g.,: java -Xms<starting MB here> -Xmx(how large in MB to grow) -jar tika-app-0.6.jar -g theXMLfile.xml For example: java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar tika-app-0.6.jar -g theXMLfile.xml Would set the starting heap at 256 MB, and let it grow to 512MB.

I have Apache Tika 0.6 and when I run the command: java -jar tika-app-0.6.jar -g theXMLfile.xml I see the output on the command prompt, showing the data extracted from the XML file. But after like 30 minutes, Tika crashes with an OutOfMemory Exception. Can someone help me with this issue? How can I fix this, is there a way to set the heap size when running Tika? Thanks in advance. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Senior Computer Scientist NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 171-266B, Mailstop: 171-246 Email: chris.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
