> When running a production cluster one common operational issue is quantifying GC pauses caused by ongoing requests.
> Since different queries return varying amount of data you can easily get your self into a situation where you Stop the world from a couple of bad actors in the system.  Or more likely the aggregate garbage generated on a single node across all in flight requests causes a GC.
> We should be able to set a limit on the max heap we can allocate to all outstanding requests and track the garbage per requests to stop this from happening.  It should increase a single nodes availability substantially.
> In the yaml this would be
> {code}
> total_request_memory_space_mb: 400
> {code}
> It would also be nice to have either a log of queries which generate the most garbage so operators can track this.  Also a histogram.
