Hello,
I want to start using InfluxDB to replace a Postgres database for some data.
I wrote a NodeJS script that extract old data from PG and inject around 20M lines 500k at a time.
Each entry contains 2 fields and 3 tags.
At first, I tried on a dedicated server with 4GB memory, but my Influx service got OOM killed. I then upgrade my server to 8GB and the script success most of the time. However, my memory consumption go to nearly 8 GB.
After the end of the injection, the memory go back to less than 1GB in 2 minutes.
Even if my script eventually finish, the memory consumption seems to be uncontrolled.
What are the process in action that could use so much memory ?
Is there a way to limit the memory usage ?
I also tried to remove a tag, and the memory is much lower.
Do you have any advice to cap the memory usage ?
Is InfluxDB usable in production with this kind of uncontrolled usage of the memory ?
Thanks.
