           Summary: samplers store all output, even when arbitrarily large
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 2.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: jmeter-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: nbryant@optonline.net


JDBCSampler (and I presume other samplers) store all the output received from
their test action. example:

Data data = getDataFromResultSet(rs);					
res.setResponseData(data.toString().getBytes());

This is poor software design because the data could be arbitrarily large and
fill memory. It is causing OutOfMemoryErrors for us, even with not very many
threads. This is major or even critical because it prevents JMeter from being
used to generate significant load. All samplers should be rewritten to just
build an MD5 hash iteratively. The hash should be updated one buffer or row at a
time instead of in bulk.

An MD5 or similar hash would be preferable over just storing part of the data,
for people who are using the data for functional testing. Then they could
compare everything for identity at least. I'm not doing functional testing so I
don't care, but I would recommend adding a configuration checkbox for an MD5 mode.

------- Additional Comments From sebb@apache.org  2007-03-21 10:59 -------
The full sample results are needed for some purposes - e.g. the Tree View 
Listener can display the results of an HTTP Sample, and Assertions need the 
response to be present - so it would not make sense to _always_ throw away the 
response data.

And the data needs to be retrieved, otherwise the sample time will not be 
representative.

However sometimes it is not ideal to store all the response data.

As a work-round you could perhaps do one of the following:
* change the query to limit the data returned
* add a BeanShell Post-Processor to zap the responseData field.

As to how to fix this: there could be an option to limit the size of the stored 
data. That should be fairly easy to do.
