Hi Joachim,

What is happing is that the system is running out of working space and the disk is being used for real.

> JAVA_OPTS: -d64 -Xms6g -Xmx10g

Don't set -Xmx10g.  Try a 2G heap.  Don't bother with -Xms.

More heap does not help - in fact, it can make it worse. TDB uses memory mapped files - these are not in Java heap space. The operating system manages how much real RAM is devoted to the virtual address space for the file. As your JVM grows, it is reducing the space for file caching.


There is another effect. The OS is managing memory but sometimes it gets its policy wrong. Oddly, the faster the initial part of the load, the slower the speed drops off to when workspace RAM runs out. My guess is that the OS guesses some acecss style and then code then breaks that assumption. It can even different from run to run on the same machine.

There is also tdbloader2 - it may be faster, it may not. It is vulnerable to OS in different ways.

As it is so per-system specific, try each and see what happens, after fixing the heap issue.

I'm loading a 111 million triples file (GND German Authority files).
For the first roughly 70 million triples, it's really fast (more than
60,000 avg), but then throughput declines continuously to a thousand
or just some hundred triples (which brings down the avg to less than
7000). During the last part of triples data phase, java is down to
1-2% CPU usage, while disk usage goes up to 100%.

As TDB writes to disk, I'd expect rather linear loading times. The
Centos 6 64bit machine (11.5 GB memory) runs on a VMware vSphere
cluster, with SAN hardware under-laying. As I observed the same
behavior at different times a day, with for sure different load
situations, there is no indication that it depended on parallel
actions on the cluster.

Perhaps there is something wrong in my config, but I could not figure
out what it may be. I add an extract of the log below - it would be
great if somebody could help me with hints.

Cheers, Joachim
