Estimate repository size

nbrisy — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 10:03:22 GMT

Hi, is there a way to estimate the repository size (file system + database) based on number, type, and size of documents ?And what about the size of full-text indexes ?Thx in advance.

Hi,

I'll take, as an example, an import of a source code tree. This consists of small, highly indexable java files - part of our source tree.

ContentStore: 1018 files @ 9.96MB
Lucene: 6.3MB
MySQL: 13.8MB

This example is skewed towards a larger database and Lucene indexes as the files are small and indexable. If you had larger documents such as Word or PDF documents, then the ratios would be skewed towards a larger content store. The other end of the spectrum would be the storage of large MP3 and other large, non-indexable content.

If you start from a clean install and just copy in (via CIFS, FTP or WebDAV) a tree of documents that represent a typical use-case, then you can look at the sizes of each and get a good idea of how it will grow.

Regards

When I try upload files over 3mb to Alfresco, appears this error:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

IÂ´m using follow store:

protected static final Store STORE = new Store(Constants.WORKSPACE_STORE,"SpacesStore");

Can I update my "Store" to another bigger?

If the answer is yes, how can I do it?

Thanks!

Hi,
How are you uploading the file? Which client interface, API, etc? Web Services, probably, but I'm just checking.
