[visad] Thread interrupt to prevent OutOfMemoryError
Hello again,
depending on the User interaction and current option settings, some
longer running method calls to the visad library (e.g. setReference for
a 80MB Netcdf Dataset that shall be mapped to RGBA and has be opened by
Plain) result in a Java OutOfMemoryError. I have a low memory notifier,
that tells me, if memory usage crosses a certain threshold, allowing me
to react before the error occurs. The opening and processing of the
dataset happens in is own thread. Unfortunately that thread does not
react to interrupt request as soon as processing has been started, so I
have to kill it with the deprecated Thread.stop method, if the
OutOfMemoryError is near. Is there any possibility to interrupt long
running VisAD processing?
kind regards,
Bergtroll
