    @rxin - In addition to @davies's point. This feature also controls largest contiguous memory block allocated on heap which is very useful to avoid OOM when operating on large data set. We have been seeing this issue of executor OOM due to failure to allocate large amount of contiguous buffer in memory due to defragmentation.
