Hi,
Currently I am creating support for using LMDB as a new storage backend for one of our products. At the moment I am testing import bulk data into lmdb using transactions that span a single record of 10MB. The total db size afterwards is 5GB. I also tested with records of 1MB.
I noticed a very odd thing: when using the MDB_WRITEMAP option, memory usage grows very quickly and linear with the amount of data stored into the database. (memory usage ends up a bit higher than 5GB). when not using MDB_WRITEMAP, however, memory usage stays very low. Does anyone have a suggestion what might be wrong and what causes such different behaviour with and without using the memorymap option?
There is nothing wrong. It is simply writing to the shared memory map.
