Bug#1033355: openrefine: Command line option -m is ignored

[Robert Jäschke]

Package: openrefine
Version: 3.6.2-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: jaeschke at l3s.de

Dear Maintainer,

The script to start Openrefine ignores the option -m to set the max
memory heap size to use. After starting "openrefine -m 8000M" I get
the following command line:

/usr/bin/java -cp server/classes:server/* -Xms1400M -Xmx1400M -Drefine.memory=1400M -Drefine.max_form_content_size=1048576 -Drefine.verbosity=info -Dpython.path=main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/jython -Dpython.cachedir=/home/<myuser>/.local/share/google/refine/cachedir -Drefine.webapp=main/webapp -Drefine.port=3333 -Drefine.interface=127.0.0.1 -Drefine.host=127.0.0.1 com.google.refine.Refine

Thus, the command line option is ignored and instead all three
relevant options (-Xms, -Xmx, -Drefine.memory) are set to 1400M as
defined in /etc/openrefine/refine.ini:

# Maximum JVM heap (memory) and max form size allocations
#REFINE_MAX_FORM_CONTENT_SIZE=1048576
REFINE_MEMORY=1400M

# Initial (and minimum) size of Java heap
REFINE_MIN_MEMORY=1400M

I think the problem is that /usr/share/openrefine/refine first parses
the command line args and then loads refine.ini which overwrites the
just set variables. Changing the order should solve the problem.

Best regards,
Robert
