Re: [basex-talk] archive:create - Out Of Main Memory

Hi Paul,

In the current version of BaseX, new archives cannot be streamed to files.

I think we could propagate the file output stream to archive:create and other functions. This could potentially be financed as sponsored feature. Does Boeing support open source projects?

Best, Christian

Hello,

We encountered Out Of Main Memory when trying to create archive of a 4GB XML file. I’m using version BaseX922.war. We allocated 20GB with –Xmx flag for tomcat. Please let me know if there is a way to overcome this issue.

        let $files := file:list('/tmp', false(), '4gb.xml')

        let $zip := archive:create($files ! element archive:entry { .

}, file:read-binary('/tmp/4gb.xml'))

        return file:write-binary('4gb.xml.zip', $zip)

Thanks,

Paul
