Typically, the OS tells the application it's not going to let it have more memory by making malloc calls fail. However, the OS in this case just evicts the application and kills it. There is no prior notice to the application, or anything. So nothing to be done here.
Is there currently any 'native' MonetDB option, or elaborative example how limits.conf could be used in limiting the available RAM to MonetDB? In such way the operating system or MonetDBs wrapper for malloc detects that it is approaching the boundaries and can act prior to a global Out Of Memory?
