java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Error message
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
What broke
The application attempted to allocate more memory than is available in the Java heap. This can happen due to memory leaks or processing large datasets without sufficient memory allocation.
Why it broke
It broke because the default heap size is insufficient for the application's memory requirements. When the application exceeds this limit, the JVM cannot allocate more memory, resulting in an OutOfMemoryError.
How to fix
To fix this, you can increase the maximum heap size allocated to the JVM by using the -Xmx option. Additionally, review your code for memory leaks or optimize memory usage.
