This would need a lot of details, so bear with me below:

Briefly my XML files look like:

<A name="">
    <B name="">
       <C name="">
            <D name="">
                 <E name=""/>

<A> can contain <B>, <C> or <D> and B, C or D can contain E. We have 1000s (currently 3000 in my test data set) of such xml files, of size 50MB on an average. Its tons of data ! Currently, my database is of ~18GB in size.

Query: /A/*//E/@name/string()

This query, was going OOM, within few mins.

I tried a few ways, of whitelisting, with contain clause, to truncate the result set. That didn't help too. So, now I am out of ideas. This is giving JVM 10GB of dedicated memory.

Once, above query works and doesn't go Out Of Memory, I also need corresponding file names too:

XYZ.xml //E/@name
PQR.xml //E/@name

Let me know if you would need more details, to appreciate the issue ?

Hi Mansi,

I think we need more information on the queries that are causing the problems.

Best,
Christian
