Hello,
I'm tryng do do a FULL Reindex, but Alfresco run out of memory in an hour.

In the repository there are 163041 documents that occupy 200GB  and 429,598 to be reindex.
I'm using Alfresco 3.2 and, when i do the reindex, the JVM has 8GB of memory.

I set up this parameter in alfresco-global.properties:

index.recovery.mode=FULL
lucene.indexer.batchSize=1000
lucene.indexer.mergeFactor=100
lucene.indexer.minMergeDocs=1000
lucene.indexer.maxMergeDocs=100000‍‍‍‍‍

But the reindexing process runs out of memory at about 70%, this is the log:

Can anyone help me?

Try to add the following JVM parameters:

-server -Xcomp -Xbatch -Xss1M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode
‍‍‍

It should allows you to finish the total reindex, I think that in the latest versions of Alfresco you don't need to add these parameters, but it could depend on your operating system and your JDK version and vendor.

Hope this helps.
