I am building an indexing application that scans a file system using VFS2 and indexes with lucene.
After running for a long while, it eats up all the memory and often hits OOME -- when I look at the heap dump, 75% of all memory usage is from SoftRefFilesCache. I plan to switch to LRUFilesCache, but looking at the google finds warnings (from 2009) about using anything other then SoftRefFilesCache: http://apache-commons.680414.n4.nabble.com/vfs-LRUFilesCache-safe-for-production-use-Google-App-Engine-Java-plug-in-td730559.html Is this still true in 2013? Is LRUFilesCache in VFS2 safe for production use -- (I know VFS2 is not released) Thanks Ryan
