> When creating an index for a materialized view for extant data, heap pressure
> is very dependent on the cardinality of of rows associated with each index
> value. With the way that per-index value rows are created within the index,
> this can cause unbounded heap pressure, which can cause OOM. This appears to
> be a side-effect of how each index row is applied atomically as with batches.
> The commit logs can accumulate enough during the process to prevent the node
> from being restarted. Given that this occurs during global index creation,
> this can happen on multiple nodes, making stable recovery of a node set
> difficult, as co-replicas become unavailable to assist in back-filling data
> from commitlogs.
> While it is understandable that you want to avoid having relatively wide rows
> even in materialized views, this represents a particularly difficult
> scenario for triage.
> The basic recommendation for improving this is to sub-group the index
> creation into smaller chunks internally, providing a maximal bound against
> the heap pressure when it is needed.
