Hello, Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve the following issue: Following a Tomcat restart, our web based application has Lucene creating a single new index in a RAMDirectory, followed by continuous creation of additional index entries as new content is published. During the initial index creation process, Heap Memory utilization jumps to over 300 MB and never drops back down, even though the new index itself is ~15 MB in size. Then, as additional index entries are added, the Heap Memory utilization continues to increase until we max out the available Heap Memory and Tomcat crashes. Relevant configuration items: Windows 2000 5.0 4 Processors, 2GB RAM Tomcat 5.0.27 JDK 1.5.0_06 Lucene 1.9.1 VM arguments: -Djava.io.tmpdir=D:\Appldata\Lucene\lockDir -Dorg.apache.lucene.commitLockTimeout=60000 -Dorg.apache.lucene.writeLockTimeout=60000 -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xrs -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -Xss512k lucene.searcher.keep.open=true lucene.searcher.retries=6 Has anyone experienced similar conditions? Any suggestions?"
