[MarkLogic Dev General] Unable to load data into MarkLogic

[Michael Blakeley]

Vivek,

The message is telling you that MarkLogic Server needed to allocate 
128-MB of contiguous address space in memory, and could not. That 
probably means you're running the 32-bit build for Windows. Windows 
seems to have problematic memory allocation policies when address space 
is tight.

So the OS does not have a contiguous 128-MB chunk of address space to 
give to MarkLogic Server. To resolve this, you have several options, 
roughly in the order that I'd choose to try them:

* Move to a 64-bit platform, where you have more address space 
available. This is the best overall fix, since most applications of 
MarkLogic Server will find a 32-bit address space somewhat cramped.

* Make sure your Windows page file is allowed to grow to 2x physical 
memory size.

* Use the boot.ini /3GB option to allow 3-GB of address space for each 
process, instead of the 2-GB default. This requires a restart of Windows.

* The 128-MB is most likely the size of your database's list-size limit 
plus its tree-size limit. Try reducing each by 50%. Continue reducing 
until the error message goes away.

* Restart the MarkLogic Server service. This will give the process a 
fresh 2-GB address space, which will probably include 128-MB of 
contiguous free space. But maybe not: see next item.

* Reboot Windows. I'm no expert, but sometimes Windows seems to recycle 
the address space.

Some or all of these suggestions might lead to other problems, of 
course. The usual warnings about sharp tools apply.
