Addressing the #798
Description:
The ScanCode tool is failing to trigger for the following coordinate as it contains huge binary files of size greater than 50 MB. The memory consumption spikes when these files are computed by scancode and eventually no results are available for the entire package because of the SIGKILL event.
Coordinate:
git/github/airlift/aircompressor/e139a31be059855a5a70f6994a4ecaa0adbbea7a
Solution Implemented:
Reducing timeout from 1000 to 120 seconds as per discussion with @pombredanne in developer's community meeting to ignore large binary files consuming huge memory.
Testing Completed:
