Shapefile index building is very memory hungry
----------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1570
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1570
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: WMS
Affects Versions: 1.6.0-RC1
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 1.6.1
Current shapefile index building code is adequate only for small and mid sized shapefile (less than 100MB). Trying to build the index for a 400MB shapefile resulted to be impossible even providing the VM with 2GB of memory.
For the moment, tell users to generate the indexes using shptree, and then investigage what hsptree is doing and replicate it (shptree is generating indexes with a small amount or required memory).
