Dear Peter,
thanks for your feedback. Indeed the Add command is supposed to be used for smaller-sized inputs. To minimize the risk of runtime failures, the command caches the parsed input in main-memory before it's inserted in the database. In your scenario, I'd advise you to either…
1. Create a new database and add all documents via CreateDB 2. Adding all documents using your own iterator.
Option 1 shoud be the preferred choice as long as you don't plan to perform regular updates.
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________

When adding documents from a directory I get things working using a few small documents and
Add(docPath).execute(CONTEXT)
but when I want to add hundreds of documents (average size 1Mb) I get a memory error. I am using Jython and have -J-Xms1200M and -J-Xmx1200m
should I use an iterator and only add one document at a time? [this doesn't seem to me to be the way to use Add() ]
TIA
