@@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ The default fraction for managed memory can be adjusted
using the `taskmanager.m
- `taskmanager.memory.segment-size`: The size of memory buffers used by
the memory manager and the network stack in bytes (DEFAULT: 32768 (= 32
KiBytes)).
-- `taskmanager.memory.preallocate`: Can be either of `true` or `false`.
Specifies whether task managers should allocate all managed memory when
starting up. (DEFAULT: false). When `taskmanager.memory.off-heap` is set to
`true`, then it is advised that this configuration is also set to `true`. If
this configuration is set to `false` cleaning up of the allocated offheap
memory happens only when the configured JVM parameter MaxDirectMemorySize is
reached by triggering a full GC.

recommend to set this value to `false` as the core state backends currently do
not use the managed memory.
