So, I'm a little disappointed that this doesn't at least follow the Yarn
model of "one setting that defines the overhead". Instead, it has two settings,
one for a fraction and one to define some minimum if the fraction is somehow
less than that. That sounds too complicated.
What's the argument against Yarn's model of a single setting with an
absolute overhead value? That doesn't require the user to do math, and makes
things easier when for some reason the user requires lots of overhead (e.g.
large usage of off-heap memory) that is not necessarily related to the heap
size.
