Enis Soztutar commented on ZOOKEEPER-1670:
------------------------------------------

I've looked at how we do it for HBase as a reference: 

Mainly, we define HBASE_HEAPSIZE in conf/hbase-env.sh, but commented out: 
{code}
# The maximum amount of heap to use, in MB. Default is 1000.
# export HBASE_HEAPSIZE=1000
{code}

And in actual bin/hbase script that we do append Xmx, and have a default value: 
{code}
JAVA_HEAP_MAX=-Xmx1000m·
...
# check envvars which might override default args
if [ "$HBASE_HEAPSIZE" != "" ]; then
  #echo "run with heapsize $HBASE_HEAPSIZE"
  JAVA_HEAP_MAX="-Xmx""$HBASE_HEAPSIZE""m"
  #echo $JAVA_HEAP_MAX
fi
{code}
                
> zookeeper should set a default value for SERVER_JVMFLAGS so that memory usage 
> is controlled

> We noticed this with jdk 1.6 where if no heap size is set the process takes 
> up to 1/4 of mem available on the machine.
> More info 
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3428251/is-there-a-default-xmx-setting-for-java-1-5
> You can run the following command to see what are the defaults for your 
> machine
> {code}
> java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version 2>&1 | grep -i -E 
> 'heapsize|permsize|version'
> {code}
> And we noticed on two different class of machines that this was 1/4th of 
> total memory on the machine.
