[XQZone General] Internal error: St9bad_alloc

[Jason Hunter]

Before loading a large document, you need to make sure you add in the 
database configuration a list of fragmentation roots.  These tell the 
server the locations within documents at which it should break the 
document into smaller pieces, thus allowing documents of arbitrary size 
to be loaded.  Fragments are the basic unit of IO within MarkLogic 
Server.  You typically want fragments sized between 10k to 50k.  Too 
big, and you read more from disk than you'd really want.  Too small, and 
you're paying for fixed fragment maintenance overhead too often. 
Exactly where you set the cut points depends on your app's behavior. 
This is all explained in the training course for customers.
