Specifying JVM settings for DataStax Studio

About this task

Studio enables you to specify JVM command-line options for the local Studio server. Studio runs with these defaults:

The default values for Xms (min heap), Xmx (max heap), and temp dir are expressed as:

export STUDIO_JVM_ARGS="-Xms256m -Xmx4g -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp"

Adjust as appropriate for your environment.

Create a file named setenv.sh for Linux operating systems (setenv.bat for Windows).
Add the content for the JVM arguments to pass to Studio.

The format of the content is:
```
export STUDIO_JVM_ARGS="JVM_options"
```
The default values for Xms (min heap), Xmx (max heap), and tmpdir are:
```
export STUDIO_JVM_ARGS="-Xms256m -Xmx4g -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp"
```
For example, to change the maximum heap size to 8 GB:
```
export STUDIO_JVM_ARGS="$JVM_OPTS -Xmx8g"
```
Save the file in the same directory as the Studio server.sh file.

For example: datastax-studio/bin/setenv.sh
Restart Studio to use the JVM options.
