Avoid Memory Consumption in Pattern Cache with MultiMatch Functions
Avoid continuously growing memory consumption of pattern cache when using functions multi(Fuzzy)Match(Any|AllIndices|AnyIndex)(). #40264 (Robert Schulze).
Why it matters
This feature addresses the problem of unbounded memory consumption caused by the pattern cache when repeatedly using multi-pattern matching functions. It ensures stable memory usage over time, improving resource efficiency and reliability for queries involving these pattern match functions.How to use it
The improvement is applied internally and automatically. Users benefit from this memory optimization without needing to change query syntax or configuration when using functions such asmultiMatchAny(), multiFuzzyMatchAllIndices(), and related functions.
