We are running this in production now on a heavily over-provisioned private cloud used for development VMs where a developer may allocate 64G or more RAM, but only use them in "bursts" while compiling code. We also set up an hourly cron job in our dev vm template that developers use which does ``` echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory ``` (as otherwise the buffers/cache in the VM will hold a lot of memory that can't be released). And the results have been nothing short of amazing. We went from being maxed out on memory usage on each host to only utilizing 25%. This is an unusual use case, but has been phenomenal for us. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
