Unable to pass the flags option

[Buntu Dev]

I'm attempting to run a 'copy' command to copy from one large dataset to a new dataset with parquet format with different partition strategy. This keeps failing with this message:

Container [pid=1546,containerID=container_1452278047864_45579_01_107350] is running beyond physical memory limits. Current usage: 2.8 GB of 2 GB physical memory used; 3.4 GB of 4.2 GB virtual memory used. Killing container.

In order to set the java options via flags, I'm running into this error: 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$ flags="-Xmx4096m" kite-dataset copy src_table dest_table

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: -Xmx4096m

I'm on "1.0.0-cdh5.5.1" Kite version, please let me know how to fix these errors, thanks!
