Thanks, Sean. It turns out the exception is being thrown from one of the
Java classes (I should have looked closer). I just assumed that doing the
recursion without loop/recur would always blow the stack eventually. I'll
have to do some research to understand when it does and when it doesn't.
I also pasted in the wrong original function that I was using when I was
getting the exception. The code I pasted does work. The version that's
making the Java code throw the exception has an extra (remove) in it to
remove empty lists. It looks like this:
(defn datamap-seq
"Returns a lazy seq of the records using the given parser and processor"
[parser processor]
(lazy-seq
(when-let [records (next-record parser processor)]
(cons records (remove empty? (datamap-seq parser processor))))))
If I take out that remove and do it elsewhere it works fine. Still puzzling
over that one.
