    optional

    When enabled, the Query service preferentially aims to clean up just transactions that it has created, leaving transactions for the distributed cleanup process only when it is forced to.

    The cluster-level queryCleanupClientAttempts setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.

    Default: true

    The value for this setting is a string. Its format includes an amount and a mandatory unit, e.g. 10ms (10 milliseconds) or 0.5s (half a second). Valid units are:

    • ns (nanoseconds)

    optional

    Specifies if there should be a controls section returned with the request results.

    When set to true, the query response document includes a controls section with runtime information provided along with the request, such as positional and named parameters or settings.

    NOTE: If the request qualifies for caching, these values will also be cached in the completed_requests system keyspace.

    The request-level controls parameter specifies this property per request. If a request does not include this parameter, the node-level controls setting will be used.

    Default: false
    Example: true

    To stop cpuprofile, run with the empty setting of "".

    Default: ""
    Example: "/tmp/info.txt"

    String

    Refer to Max Parallelism for more information.

    Default: 1
    Example: 0

    Integer (int32)

    memory-quota
    optional

    Specifies the maximum amount of memory a request may use on this node, in MB. Note that the overall node memory quota is this setting multiplied by the node-level servicers setting.

    Specify 0 (the default value) to disable. When disabled, there is no quota.

    This parameter enforces a ceiling on the memory used for the tracked documents required for processing a request. It does not take into account any other memory that might be used to process a request, such as the stack, the operators, or some intermediate values.

    Within a transaction, this setting enforces the memory quota for the transaction by tracking the delta table and the transaction log (approximately).

    The cluster-level queryMemoryQuota setting specifies this property for the whole cluster. When you change the cluster-level setting, the node-level setting is over-written for all nodes in the cluster.

    In addition, the request-level memory_quota parameter specifies this property per request. If a request includes this parameter, it will be capped by the node-level memory-quota setting.

    Default: 0
    Example: 4

    Integer (int32)

    memprofile
    optional

    Filename to write the diagnostic memory usage log.

    NOTE: If memprofile is left running too long, it can slow the system down as its file size increases.

    node-quota
    optional

    Sets the soft memory limit for this node, in MB. The garbage collector tries to keep below this target. It is not a hard, absolute limit, and memory usage may exceed this value.

    Reading from replica is only possible if the cluster uses Couchbase Server 7.6.0 or later.

    Note that KV range scans cannot currently be started on a replica vBucket. If a query uses sequential scan and a data node becomes unavailable, the query might return an error, even if read from replica is enabled for the request.
