Set huge pages for MarkLogic StatefulSet
The use of huge pages in a namespace is controlled with ResourceQuota similar to other compute resources like cpu or memory using the hugepages-<size> token.
Note
Huge pages do not support overcommit
In the values.yaml file, huge pages can be set:
## Manage HugePages
## ref: https://v1-23.docs.kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-hugepages/scheduling-hugepages/
hugepages:
enabled: true
mountPath: /dev/hugepages
resources:
# Marklogic pods' resource requests and limits
# ref: https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/compute-resources/
limits:
hugepages-2Mi: 1Gi
memory: 8Gi
requests:
memory: 8Gi
Check the error log
After setting the huge pages, check the error log to verify that the huge pages are detected. You should see an entry in the log indicating the number of huge pages detected:
2023-02-06 16:01:40.190 Info: Linux Huge Pages: detected 1280, using 1280, recommend 1280 to 1820
Check resource usage at the node level
To verify huge pages are working as expected, can check the resource usage,
