Memory limit in Azure Data Lake Analytics

Question

I have implemented a custom extractor for NetCDF files and load the variables into arrays in memory before outputting them. Some arrays can be quite big, so I wonder what the memory limit is in ADLA. Is there some max amount of memory you can allocate?

Answer 1

Each vertex has 6GB available. Keep in mind that this memory is shared between the OS, the U-SQL runtime, and the user code running on the vertex.
