Howdy,

I inherited three fairly beefy servers for Logstash. They have 256 gigs of RAM and 56 CPUs. I know I can run a bunch of separate Logstash processes to fully utilize the servers (using Docker, etc.), but I was curious if it would be feasible to load up the Logstash JVM with a lot of RAM and then use the multiple pipelines feature heavily.
