Issue

  • When we start our test server with -Xmx1024Mb after applying a new patch, the LPKG Index Validator is running too long and we are getting GC overhead exception, ending up in OutOfMemoryError:
  • WARN [HikariPool-1 housekeeper][HikariPool:676] HikariPool-1 - Thread starvation or clock leap detected (housekeeper delta=1m36s726ms671µs500ns).
    Exception in thread "NioBlockingSelector.BlockPoller-2" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
  • For us, it is not possible to disable the Validator in Production.

Environment

  • DXP 7.0

Resolution

  • Increase the maximum heap size to at least 3GB ( -Xmx3g) and restart the server
  • Once it resolved the matter with 3Gb, you can fine-tune the JVM further.
