From 89e5fa884df8cd72e81c3727cf1f0d1c7a9c7641 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2015 17:50:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf data: Enable stream flush within processing For big data files the size of data allocated for stream instance could get really high. It's needed to flush the data out of the stream once in a while. Unfortunately there's no size indication in the stream object, so we govern the flush based on the number of stored events. Current flush limit is set ot 100000 events.
