Hi Anand (cc @ basex-talk),
Yesterday, in the mailing list you have mentioned certain NEW fixes for 7.7.1. I am more concerned about
CORE ? OutOfMemory exceptions are avoided when building large databases
Can you explain it in details? I mean the size of "large databases"...
John Best was so kind to point me to a bug in BaseX 7.7, which hindered the creation of index structures of larger databases (i.e., those document instances the size of which exceeded the system’s main memory). This error occurred whenever a newly built index structure was too large to fit in main memory. In this case, a partial index is written to disk, and the subsequent memory check was too strict and stopped further indexing.
Hope this helps, Christian
