Hi there,
I looked around but couldn't find any recommendation about kernel vm settings in Linux for MonetDB.
In particular:
- vm.overcommit_memory: 0 (default) : a heuristics decides whether overcommitting is allowed 1: no check, overcommit is always allowed 2: overcommitting is regulated by vm.overcommit_ratio (default = 50%)
Do I understand correctly that using vm.overcommit_memory=1 will only make the OOM kill mserver5 when the total VM available is exhausted?
If that is true, should it be reasonably safe to use on a server that is mainly intended for MonetDB, as long as sufficient disk space is available?
- vm.swappiness Generic recommendations are usually 60 for a desktop and 30 for a server. Oracle recommends 10. Redis recommends 1. Are there studies / recommendations for MonetDB?
