Be aware that when enabled, each MemStore instance will occupy at least
an MSLAB instance of memory. If you have thousands of regions or lots
of regions each with many column families, this allocation of MSLAB
may be responsible for a good portion of your heap allocation and in
an extreme case cause you to OOME. Disable MSLAB in this case, or
lower the amount of memory it uses or float less regions per server.
