Inexplicably high memory usage

Open admjls opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

When trying to process a 3GB JSON file on a machine with 62GB of available RAM, gron terminates (after about an hour) with the message fatal error: runtime: out of memory.

Out of curiosity, I spun up an r4.4xlarge in AWS and let it chew on the file - peak memory usage approached ~98GB (of 120GB free).

Same issue for me in 2024 😅

I was unable to use gron with a ~2.2gb JSON file as my 32GB computer was getting dangerously close to running out of memory before I killed it. macOS memory pressure was in the red territory and my other apps were starting to slow down. It was using ~40gb combined memory before I quit it.
