1. This looks like a bug with the allocator unless there is a reason for
not enforcing a limit(total direct memory available) on the memory
allocated to all the fragments
2. This looks like a bigger problem as we are unnecessarily failing all the
other queries as a result of one fragment causing OOM. It makes sense if
the drillbit was un-responsive after a fragment hit an OOM. But I was able
to connect to that specific drillbit after the failures and ran the same
failing queries successfully.
