Lars Hofhansl commented on PHOENIX-4148:
----------------------------------------
My idea was to reserve a chunk of the HEAP (maybe in increments of 1MB), then
allocate stuff onto the hashmap until the chunk is used up, at which point I'd
request a new chunk. When finished all chunks would be released. Does that
sound about right?
> COUNT(DISTINCT(...)) should have a memory size limit

> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
>
> I just managed to kill (hang) a region server by issuing a
> COUNT(DISTINCT(...)) query over a column with very high cardinality (20m in
> this case).
> This is perhaps not a useful thing to do, but Phoenix should nonetheless not
> allow to have a server fail because of a query.
> [~jamestaylor], I see there GlobalMemoryManager, but I do not quite see how
> I'd get a reference to one, once needs a tenant id, etc.
