Comment 2 for bug 1425528

Mario,

I understand your suggestion, but I think we should not enforce that decision, if a given user
wants to use a dataset-size of 100GB on a 32GB machine, then is up to the operator, there are many assumptions
that we could be doing wrong ( perhaps is adding Swap memory? or stressing an installation?).

I think the best we can do on that case is to warn the user about his decision.

        if dataset_bytes > self.get_mem_total():
            log("Dataset has been set to a value greater than the available RAM",
                level=WARN)

Also offering the option to manually adjust the dataset-size and innodb_buffer_pool_size to a specific memory amount
would be enough for covering most of the use cases.

Opinions?
