Nodes started on local machine require more than 80% of physical RAM

[Stéphane Thibaud <sn...@gmail.com>]

Hello!

I am deploying my first Ignite node, but I encountered the following message
on start:

[07:42:50] Nodes started on local machine require more than 80% of physical
RAM what can lead to significant slowdown due to swapping (please decrease
JVM heap size, data region size or checkpoint buffer size) [required=950MB,
available=1692MB]

I did apply the followings tweaks to the Java VM -Xms512m and Xmx512m and it
had an effect in that the 'required' part in the message above went down.
However, required/available < 0.8 now and I don't know why the message still
appears. Any ideas?


Kind regards,

Stéphane

Absolutely agree with you that 4GB is too much, especially for the container
environment.
I think the person who wrote the check thought about big bare-metal
installations with 128GB+ RAM, but you can just ignore this warning, as I
said, just make sure that required mem < total mem.

Thanks,
Mike.

Thank you. I am running this on a Google Cloud instance with Container OS
and was trying to find a minimal setup first. Maybe I need to add some more
RAM to the instance, but 4GB for container OS seems a bit much. Thanks for
letting me know in any case! :-)


Kind regards,

Stéphane

Hi Stephane,

Ignite has a check: it sums all JVM heaps and off-heap sizes for all nodes
in the cluster that you run on the same host,  and check if it takes more
then 80% of host RAM OR *there's less then 4GB left*:

https://github.com/apache/ignite/blob/ef6764e99c318a857ec92d6a270d8ef621cfde66/modules/core/src/main/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/IgniteKernal.java#L1753

So your system just have only 1.5GB, so you always will see this message,
while "required" size less than "available" and there's still some space for
OS and your tools you can ignore this message. Plus, even if you will
require more space then your RAM capacity, I believe you use SWAP, don't
you? so it's still okay to run Ignite, but please, remember that you can
have poor performance due to lack of RAM.

Thanks,
Mike.

Hi Stéphane,

This message relates to Ignite off-heap memory. You need to adjust the size
for its data regions. Hope this page helps:
