In the end, this was apparently how the java code works when installed... To paraphrase:
By default, SEG V2 dynamically configures a certain portion of system RAM as the maximum heap allocation at the time of installation. This is done by updating -Xmx JVM argument value in the configuration file. Note: Above configuration for JVM heap allocation does not block all the allocated memory. Instead, this configuration defines the maximum cap on the java heap. The java process will start with minimum required amount of memory. On need basis, the process may consume more memory from the allocation. Also note that, JVM will periodically run garbage collection to free up the space.
You can override the default behavior by configuring a specific amount of memory for SEG java process. Follow below steps for the same:
1. In SEGDir\config\application.properties file, add below entry
custom.heap.memory.allocation.in.mb=<value in MiB>
Then restart the host and monitor.
