Hi, I'm trying to find more in depth data about how Prometheus manages memory and disk space, my understanding so far is that long-term the data is written in chunks to disk and mmap-ed, and management for that is left for the OS, but I can't find how this mmap data is treated when Prometheus is running in a Kuberentes pod, if the size of the data stored on disk is 16GB for example, and the pod has a memory limit of 8, would at any point a query cause the pod to be OOM killed duo to the map being larger than the memory limit of the pod?
I found this old Prometheus issue about the topic: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/3005, but it was closed without any final comments. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
