Resolves #7242
This PR configures
mimallocas the global allocator in the Python library (pylance) to resolve an unbounded RSS memory leak caused by glibc per-thread arena fragmentation.Root Cause
Under glibc, sequential
merge_insertworkloads on Tokio worker threads allocate temporary buffers. Glibc does not eagerly return pages from these per-thread arenas to the OS after they are freed, causing RSS memory to grow monotonically until the process is terminated by the OOM killer.Solution
mimallocdependency topython/Cargo.toml(withdefault-features = falseto keep dependencies minimal).mimalloc::MiMallocas the#[global_allocator]inpython/src/lib.rs.
