[jira] [Commented] (NUTCH-314) Multiple language identifier instances

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-314?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13081692#comment-13081692 ] 

Lewis John McGibbney commented on NUTCH-314:
--------------------------------------------

As language identification is being delegated to Tika as per NUTCH-1075 is it fair to say that future releases of Nutch will not be concerned with caching NGramEntry's?

This seems like quite a lot of overhead (if included on the radar) considering other much more important issues concerning Nutch at the moment.

I propose we close this issue as won't fix as it has obviously ont gained much backing during its 5 year existence. Happy belated 5th bday Nutch 314 ;)

> In my application I often need to perform the inject -> generate -> .. -> index loop multiple times, since users can 'suggest' new web pages to be crawled and indexed.
> I also need to enable the language identifier plugin.
> Everything seems to work correctly, but after some time I get an OutOfMemoryException. Actually the time isn't important, since I noticed that the problem arises when the user submits many urls (~100). As I said, for each submitted url a new loop is performed (similar to the one in the Crawl.main method).
> Using a profiler (specifically, netbeans profiler) I found out that for each submitted url a new LanguageIdentifier instance is created, and never released. With the memory inspector tool I can see as many instances of LanguageIdentifier and NGramProfile$NGramEntry as the number of fetched pages, each of them occupying about 180kb. Forcing garbage collection doesn't release much memory.
> Maybe we should cache its instance in the conf as we do for many others objects in Nutch.
