How about simply increasing the heap size if RAM is available? You should also check the update handler config, e.g. auto commit, if docs aren’t being written to disk, they would be hanging around in memory. And “openSearcher” setting too as opening new searchers consumes memory, especially if expensive warm-up requests are configured.
Setup some graphs, monitoring the JVM heap, indexing rate, pending docs etc etc. Boon --- Boon Low Lead Big Data / Search Engineer DCT Family History On 24 Jul 2014, at 15:12, François Schiettecatte <fschietteca...@gmail.com<mailto:fschietteca...@gmail.com>> wrote: A default garbage collector will be chosen for you by the VM, might help to get the stack trace to look at.

So you want to say that since i am using large heap but didnt set my garbage collection, thats why i why getting java heap space error?

On my production environment with a heap of 6 GB I set this parameter (server with 8 cores): -server -Xms6144m -Xmx6144m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70 -XX:ConcGCThreads=6 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=6 Marcello On 07/24/2014 03:53 PM, Ameya Aware wrote: I did not make any other change than this.. rest of the settings are default.

I have increase java jeap space to 4 GB using below command : java -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar start.jar Still after indexing around 15000 documents it gives java heap space error again. Any fix for this? Thanks, Ameya ________________________________ This message is confidential and may contain privileged information. You should not disclose its contents to any other person.
