I'm testing a REST call that streams data back in a response. JMeter works
fine with small files, but when I stream a 4gb file, it just chokes, every
time: "ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: Test failed!
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit"
Some troubleshooting I have already tried:
* modified the heap to 6gb (running on a MBP with 16gb)
* running headless
* no listeners
These tests are just for throughput and performance. I don't need a single
byte from the response. My first thought is to just tell JMeter to discard
it. Is there a way to do that?
If there's a different approach here, I'm open to ideas. Really any
suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Colin
