Index creation asks for more than 4GB

Answered


During index creation Idea show me pop-up saying that it uses all available memory 4GB and ask what to do. I say to continue, than memory usage drops up to 300 MB.

 

1. Can I lower memory usage during index (?) creation?

2. Any tips for garbage collector tuning?

 

Thanks!

Seems that you have some really large file(s) in project directories?

This dialog means that the was OutOfMemory error after which normal IDE operations are not longer possible and it is better to restart the IDE.

The JVM will automatically collect the memory that is not used any more.

Yes, unfortunately there are huge "integration" test files. Any tips?

If those are not binary files you can mark them by plain text or exclude any files/folders by pattern.

Check also with 3rd plugins disabled.
