No mechanism to write a huge Excel file without huge memory

           Summary: No mechanism to write a huge Excel file without huge
                    memory
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mweston@demandtec.com


HSSF's only mechanism to write Excel files is to build the entire workbook in
memory and then write that out when it's all done. There is no way to write it
out a row at a time or even a sheet at a time.

I suspect this is hard, but I was surprised to not see any mention of any future
plans to address it, or even any other bugs filed on this subject. Unless I
missed something.
