Problem Description

Typically this occurs when the MINE process runs out of memory. The error you will see will look something like this:

2017/10/31 13:46:59 WARN> WARN-6954: Connection was probably closed. Detected where = 'get URI string'. 
2017/10/31 13:46:59 WARN> WARN-4502: Timeout waiting for incoming data (timeout 60s). Detected where = 'get URI string'. 
2017/10/31 13:46:59 WARN> Tried to free mine memory: 2332377092 -> 2332377092 
2017/10/31 13:46:59 INFO> Trying to create support package (base error: FATAL-1600: Memory limit (set in DDC to 2147483648) exhausted, current allocations: 2332377092 
2017/10/31 13:56:08 FATAL> FATAL-1600: Memory limit (set in DDC to 2147483648) exhausted, current allocations: 2332377092

This happens when there is bigger workload at the same time, taking up a lot of memory.

Solution

The solution is to increase the MINE memory.

  • In the MINE.ddc file increase the memory allocation:

    set MEMORY_LIMIT_MINE_MB 4096

    Note: This setting should be entered in the MINE.ddc file as the last line of the file after:

    ########## Any manual settings should go below this line ########## set MEMORY_LIMIT_MINE_MB 4096

    Otherwise, the change will not take effect.

  • The MINE process must then be restarted.
