--------------------------------------------------------------------

This isn't going to fix the underlying issue (reads/queries are overcapacity) 
but it will tell an operator that reads are too high vs just wondering what's 
happening to the system.

Similar to the purpose of memtable_cleanup_threashold

> 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.
