Method, system, and computer program product for adaptive memory management for data ingestion and flush

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory storing a sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a set of acts, the set of acts comprising:
• identifying a memory area of a global memory of a computing system, the memory area comprising a buffer memory area and allocated for ingesting data for a database;
• identifying a persistent storage device into which data stored in the memory area is to be flushed;
• determining a predicted ingest rate and a predicted flush rate for a memory area of a global memory for a database;
• and
• adaptively resizing the memory area at least by executing the memory management task on the memory area based at least in part upon the predicted ingest rate and the predicted flush rate.

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to execute a set of acts, the set of acts comprising:

• identifying a memory area of a global memory of a computing system, the memory area comprising a buffer memory area and allocated for ingesting data for a database;
• identifying a persistent storage device into which data stored in the memory area is to be flushed;
• determining a predicted ingest rate and a predicted flush rate for a memory area of a global memory for a database;
• adaptively resizing the memory area at least by executing the memory management task on the memory area.
