public interface Accountable
An object whose JVM heap memory usage can be computed.

Implementations should only account for memory allocated on the Java heap (i.e. memory managed by the JVM garbage collector). Off-heap resources such as memory-mapped files or native direct buffers should not be included; those should be tracked separately if needed (see e.g. `KnnVectorsReader.getOffHeapByteSize(org.apache.lucene.index.FieldInfo)`).

NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

- ## Field Summary

  Fields
  Modifier and Type
  Field
  Description
  `static final Accountable`
  `NULL_ACCOUNTABLE`
  An accountable that always returns 0

- ## Method Summary

  Modifier and Type
  Method
  Description
  `default Collection<Accountable>`
  `getChildResources()`
  Returns nested resources of this class.
  `long`
  `ramBytesUsed()`
  Returns an estimate of the JVM heap memory used by this object in bytes.

- ## Field Details

  - ### NULL_ACCOUNTABLE

    static final Accountable NULL_ACCOUNTABLE
    An accountable that always returns 0

- ## Method Details

  - ### ramBytesUsed

    long ramBytesUsed()
    Returns an estimate of the JVM heap memory used by this object in bytes. The method name uses "ram" for historical reasons; only JVM heap memory should be reported. Off-heap resources such as memory-mapped files or native direct buffers should not be included. Negative values are illegal.

  - ### getChildResources

    default Collection<Accountable> getChildResources()
    Returns nested resources of this class. The result should be a point-in-time snapshot (to avoid race conditions).
