Symptoms

Automatic Update Cycle fails due to OutOfMemoryError (!syMemoryAllocationDenied,1024,512) when using ElasticSearch.

The Automatic Update Cycle kept getting into Interrupted state so no revisions were getting indexed due to above error. 

Observed heap usage using Java Mission Control and found that heap usage went up 3g to process the file.  Then, the above OutOfMemoryError occurred.

Reviewed the revision that was failing indexing.  The user had checked in a zip file (7M) containing a large file (250M).  The zip file was 7M which was under the MaxIndexableFileSize (default value is 10M), so it was allowed to proceed with fulltext indexing.
