Description

I've deployed Drill to one node m1.medium and set DRILL_MAX_DIRECT_MEMORY to be 2048M, and running runbit I got a OOM in Direct memory allocation.

Using 4gb resolves this problem, but I don't know what's the minimum requirement for Drill. If 4gb is the minimum ram required that perhaps we need to document this.

Creating this as a bug as Jacques pointed we are not sure where we're needing that much space (or more of a runbit/env problem?)
