As usual, we should definitely benchmark this before merging. Bonus points if we can run this on one of the problematic workloads pointed out by Todd.

Approving, but let's test this in RAICode before merging here.

// XXX: we've observed that the `live_bytes` was negative in a few cases
// which is not expected. We should investigate this further, but let's just
// cap it to 0 for now.
int64_t live_bytes_for_interval_computation = live_bytes < 0 ? 0 : live_bytes;

Do we also want to cap it in the other direction? It should not exceed maximum memory, right?

If I were to cap anything in the other direction (i.e. put an upper bound on anything), that would be the gc_num.interval, probably.

With this change, I believe it's already upper-bounded by max_total_memory, but we can possibly make that bound a bit tighter (i.e. max_total_memory / 2 or so).

If this is just a patch for v.1.10.2+RAI and not intended for upstream, could we limit gc_num.interval to max_total_memory / log2(max_total_memory) ?

What's the motivation for dividing by log?

To be more precise: why the choice of log here? And not some other function?

The OOMGuardian heuristic triggers full gc when the heap size increases by 15% over the high-water mark in a rolling window (10 minutes). This avoids having the heap be more than 15% larger than it needs to be (resulting in shorter gc pauses and fewer TLB misses in pointer dereferences). It also means that if the reachable heap size is increasing monotonically, we don't do more than a logarithmic number of collections. In the scenario where we don't know the actual heap size because of the accounting problem, I'm going for a logarithmic number of collections in physical memory size. The max_total_memory / log2(max_total_memory) calculation would give an interval of 0.5GiB for 16GiB ram (32 collections until all of physical memory allocated), and 6.7GiB for 256GiB ram (38 collections).

Can we bump up the urgency level of fixing this- it is causing major headaches for customers running XL instances in spcs (e.g. cashapp).

Acked. Will be opening a PR to test this on raicode and try to merge this ASAP.

Will meet with @kpamnany to discuss the performance results from https://github.com/RelationalAI/raicode/pull/20626.

If there are no significant regressions we expect to merge it today.
