Hi everyone,
We've just found a memory issue in XWiki Enterprise 3.2 and 3.3M1/3.3M2.
The technical reason is because we're caching the rendering of pages in the document
cache and those objects are very big (up to 27MB for a very large page). In XWiki
Enterprise 3.2.1 and XWiki Enterprise 3.3 RC1+ (not released yet) we've optimized the
space taken in memory by those objects.
As a consequence we recommend using a reduced document cache size with XWiki Enterprise
3.2 and 3.3M1/3.3M2 and/or increasing the memory allocated to the JVM.
If you haven't already upgraded to XWiki Enterprise 3.2 we recommend waiting for 3.2.1
which should be released soon (or wait for XWiki Enterprise 3.3 which is planned for
mi-december).
We apologize about this,
-Vincent on behalf of the XWiki Dev Team

New subject: [xwiki-devs] [ANN] Memory issue with XWiki Enterprise 3.2 and 3.3M1/3.3M2
Hello Vincent,
I hope that I understand the issue correctly: some elements that we put into cache are
up to 27M in size and if e.g. we have cache size configured to 500 elements - this might
eat up to 13GB of RAM, causing OOM. The issue will be resolved by reducing the size of
elements from 27M to a lot less (e.g. 500K).
Even though the issue will be resolved reducing the elements sizes for now, it might
always come back because you cannot always control the size of elements put in cache.
So the issue must as well be addressed from the other side: that is limit the cache size
not by number of elements but by the amount of memory allocated to it (which seems even
more logical). Just like in EHCache since one of the recent versions (
http://ehcache.org/documentation/configuration/cache-size#list-of-cache-con…
).
Regards,
Roman

Our document cache is controlled by # of docs not by size.
So even in XE 3.1 if you put a doc with some content of, let's say 2GB and you have
less memory you'll get an OOM… ;)
To get an XDOM (that's the object cached) of 27MB you need a document content of about
300K in text.
Even though the issue will be resolved reducing the
elements sizes for now, it might always come back because you cannot always control the
size of elements put in cache.
So the issue must as well be addressed from the other side: that is limit the cache size

).
Yes we need to investigate this but I really have no clue how the caches can do this in
any performant manner. Guava also has some caches that do this. For example:
http://code.google.com/p/concurrentlinkedhashmap/wiki/ExampleUsage
Weigher<V> memoryUsageWeigher = new Weigher<V>() {
final MemoryMeter meter = new MemoryMeter();
@Override public int weightOf(V value) {
long bytes = meter.measure(value);
return (int) Math.min(bytes, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
}
};
ConcurrentMap<K, V> cache = new ConcurrentLinkedHashMap.Builder<K, V>()
.maximumWeightedCapacity(1024 * 1024) // 1 MB
.weigher(memoryUsageWeigher)
.build();
We need to check performances.
Thanks
