Description of Change
Just moved BufferedInputStream to wrap GzipInputStream and not the other way around.
Test description
I did not test this extensively. I lost some hours finding a way to run this, so sorry if I did not do this as it should.
--purgeand other with--updateonly--updateonlyafter database is purgedHow I got to that point of error?
On
NvdApiDatasource, I saw that there were two ExecutorServices when using Datafeed, so first I limited Download to 1 thread and saw no difference in memory usage and then I limitedprocessingExecutorServiceto 1 and saw a huge difference.Further improvements
I believe first gunzipping to a temporary file and reading from it would save a lot of memory. Because GzipInputStream has an internal buffer, as Gzip decompression works in blocks, and JSON usually has a high compression rate (around 80 to 95% in some cases, but in this case I saw around 90%), there is a lot of gunzipped content in memory probably. Not sure if BufferedInputStream is enough though, so I did not bother to test that.
Have test cases been added to cover the new functionality?
No
