Hey Adriano and everyone, I finally got a chance to monitor/profile the neo4j process with VisualVM when I run my set of tests.
It seems that after running the set of tests once, ~ 50M of PermGen was used. However, subsequent test runs simply multiples that, which worries me a little. After the fourth run of the tests, ~ 200M of PermGen space was used. My app accesses to neo4j completely using the REST interface. During the test run, new nodes and relationships are being frequently created. There are batch requests that performs multiple actions at once (number of actions is reasonable, really small in this case, usually a few, or tenth). There are also gremlin script executions through REST (send the gremlin query over to the server through REST API). Most of the gremlin queries are traversals and returns the vertices or edges match the constraints. Total number of nodes created during a test run is only hundreds. There are more relationships, but at most thousands. That's basically all of the things that are done against neo4j server during a test run. Given this, do you think the PermGen usage is reasonable? Or do you think something is very wrong? I worried that setting a larger PermGen would only postpone but not resolve the OutOfMemory problem. Let me know if any other info is needed.
