-    <!-- Memory Circuit Breaker
-
-     Specific configuration for max JVM heap usage circuit breaker. This configuration defines
-     whether the circuit breaker is enabled and the threshold percentage of maximum heap allocated
-     beyond which queries will be rejected until the current JVM usage goes below the threshold.
-     The valid value for this range is 50-95.
-
-     Consider a scenario where the max heap allocated is 4 GB and memThreshold is defined as 75.
-     Threshold JVM usage will be 4 * 0.75 = 3 GB. Its generally a good idea to keep this value
-     between 75 - 80% of maximum heap allocated.
-
-     If, at any point, the current JVM heap usage goes above 3 GB, queries will be rejected until
-     the heap usage goes below 3 GB again. If you see queries getting rejected with 503 error code,
-     check for "Circuit Breakers tripped" in logs and the corresponding error message should tell
-     you what transpired (if the failure was caused by tripped circuit breakers).
