limewire import failing

Asked by Robert Collins

Limewire's import is failing. It claims a timeout, but the log shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
... totla.totla(config, self._logger, config.args, SCM.tree(source_dir))
  File "cscvs/cmds/totla.py", line 229, in totla

    self._catalog = self.refreshCatalog(inputfile, self.logger(), readOnly, dryRun, fuzzhours, tlaBranchName=tlaBranchName)

MemoryError
Import failed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: twisted.internet.error.ProcessTerminated: A process has ended with a probable error condition: process ended with exit code 1.

Which suggests two things to me:
the code import is failing to error appropriately, and then hanging for an hour ;)
This import may need manual sheparding but doesn't necessarily have a bug preventing it completing.

rockstar, any news?

The import just uses more RAM than we have in the machines that run the imports.

If we could perform the initial import on some other machine, we could probably update it fine on the import slaves, but I don't know how likely that is.

What is needed to try this?

A machine with a lot of RAM (more than 4 gigs) that can connect on the internet on port 2401. If you manage to import it once and give me the CVS checkout and the resulting branch, I can stitch that into the code import system.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Robert Collins for more information if necessary.
