Issue with chunk size

[akahkhanna]

I am working on a web based application to tail log file. I set a chunksize of 16384 and startPosition 5. My log file is around 38 MB in size and the browser hangs as soon as I do so. I am using Jetty and Primefaces.

When I click the server, the text area displaying log content gets filled up with way more data than expected.

int displayChunkSize =  16384 :
long fileSize = path.toFile().length();
long startPos =5;
Observable<String> tailer = FileObservable
           .tailer()
           .file( path.toFile().getAbsolutePath() ) 
           .sampleTimeMs( 500 )
           .chunkSize( displayChunkSize )
           .startPosition( startPos)
           .tailText();
SafeSubscriber safeSub = new SafeSubscriber(new ActionSubscriber( 
    onMessage, onError, Actions.empty() ) );
Runnable sub = () -> tailer.subscribe( safeSub );
