please adjust the startup option `--query.memory-limit`

[Damien Joyce]

hi All,

I'm not clear on the global query memory limit option,  according to the docs

https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/programs-arangod-query.html#limiting-memory-usage-of-aql-queries 

 it should be

--query.global-memory-limit=0 to override?

but testing it , it doesnt seem to take that :

2021-11-30T17:22:09Z [1] INFO [f6e0e] {aql} memory limit per AQL query automatically set to 20206057881 bytes. to modify this value, please adjust the startup option `--query.memory-limit`

Can you clarify please?

Thanks

Damien

From what I understand, you set --query.global-memory-limit to 0. The log message references a different start-up option, however.

--query.memory-limit sets the default memory limit for individual queries. You can set a lower limit per query, and also a higher one if --query.memory-limit-override is set to true. --query.global-memory-limit controls the memory limit for all AQL queries that run in parallel. If you want no limit, then set both the global and default memory limit to 0.
