Look at whether the property 'system.conserveProperty' is enabled when deciding he default pool size for the converter. If true, a much more conservative default is used, limiting the risk of running out of memory. |

Processes
1. Crawl Process
The crawling-process fetches website contents, temporarily saving them as WARC files, and then re-converts them into parquet models. Both are described in crawling-model.
The operation is optionally defined by a crawl specification, which can be created in the control GUI.
2. Converting Process
The converting-process reads crawl data from the crawling step and processes them, extracting keywords and metadata and saves them as parquet files described in processed-data.
3. Loading Process
The loading-process reads the processed data.
It has creates an index journal, a link database, and loads domains and domain-links into the MariaDB database.
4. Index Construction Process
The index-construction-process constructs indices from the data generated by the loader.
Overview
Schematically the crawling and loading process looks like this:
