## YARN
-- `yarn.heap-cutoff-ratio`: (Default 0.25) Percentage of heap space to
remove from containers started by YARN. When a user requests a certain amount
of memory for each TaskManager container (for example 4 GB), we can not pass
this amount as the maximum heap space for the JVM (`-Xmx` argument) because the
JVM is also allocating memory outside the heap. YARN is very strict with
killing containers which are using more memory than requested. Therefore, we
remove a 15% of the memory from the requested heap as a safety margin.
-- `yarn.heap-cutoff-min`: (Default 384 MB) Minimum amount of memory to cut
off the requested heap size.
