@Lars/@Gary Do we need to document such things. Recently someone was asking me a question like this, if my endpoint impl is so memory intensive it just affects a running cluster and already the RS has a huge memory heap associated with it.
So its better we document saying if your endpoint consumes memory and because it runs along with RS based on your need add that extra amount of memory that will be taken up by the endpoint impl.
