Memory management properties#

query.max-memory-per-node#

  • Type: data size

  • Default value: (JVM max memory * 0.3)

This is the max amount of user memory a query can use on a worker. User memory is allocated during execution for things that are directly attributable to, or controllable by, a user query. For example, memory used by the hash tables built during execution, memory used during sorting, etc. When the user memory allocation of a query on any worker hits this limit, it is killed.

query.max-memory#

This is the max amount of user memory a query can use across the entire cluster. User memory is allocated during execution for things that are directly attributable to, or controllable by, a user query. For example, memory used by the hash tables built during execution, memory used during sorting, etc. When the user memory allocation of a query across all workers hits this limit it is killed.

query.max-total-memory#

  • Type: data size

  • Default value: (query.max-memory * 2)

This is the max amount of memory a query can use across the entire cluster, including revocable memory. When the memory allocated by a query across all workers hits this limit it is killed. The value of query.max-total-memory must be greater than query.max-memory.

query.max-memory-per-task#

  • Type: data size

  • Default value: none, and therefore unrestricted

  • Session property: query_max_total_memory_per_task

This is the max amount of the memory a task can use on a node in the cluster. Support for using this property is experimental only.

memory.heap-headroom-per-node#

  • Type: data size

  • Default value: (JVM max memory * 0.3)

This is the amount of memory set aside as headroom/buffer in the JVM heap for allocations that are not tracked by Trino.
