services.foundationdb.memory
Maximum memory used by the process. The default value is
8GiB. When specified without a unit,
MiB is assumed. This parameter does not
change the memory allocation of the program. Rather, it sets
a hard limit beyond which the process will kill itself and
be restarted. The default value of 8GiB
is double the intended memory usage in the default
configuration (providing an emergency buffer to deal with
memory leaks or similar problems). It is not recommended to
decrease the value of this parameter below its default
value. It may be increased if you wish to allocate a very
large amount of storage engine memory or cache. In
particular, when the storageMemory
parameter is increased, the memory
parameter should be increased by an equal amount.
