> When fragment memory limit is enabled, running a query with a large number of fragments hits the fragment memory limit after being run a few times. 
> It appears there are two problems - 1) At the end of the query, the drillbit does not reset the fragment limit to the amount before the query was run, and 2) the fragment limit seems to be smaller than expected.
> The cause seems to be the following -
>  
> When a drillbit receives a request for a fragmentRecordBatch, the BitServer threads create a NonRootFragmentManager object each, corresponding to the FragmentHandle. Only one of the NonRootFragmentManager objects is actually used, the others are discarded and garbage collected. 
> However, when fragment memory limit is enabled, the Allocator corresponding to each of these nonRootFragmentManager objects registers the corresponding FragmentContext with the top level allocator which then uses this information to recalculate the fragment limit.
> This has two effects - 1) the top level allocator counts more fragments because it counts each fragment multiple times. 2) The top level allocator keeps a reference to the fragment context which prevents the object from being garbage collected. Worse, since no code actually 'closes' the fragment context, these objects remain registered with the top level allocator across queries, eventually causing an out of memory condition.
