Node Manager controls to avoid crashing when filter uses large amounts of memory Merged

Customer has an analysis that contains about 300k rows. They want to filter for a specific list of around 6000 that match specific ID values. They're creating a filter string wiht the IDs listed using the OR feature available for filters (i.e. 'pete OR david OR john'.

When they do a filter search like this, it rapidly uses up 30GB or more of memory and causes the node to crash. They understand that this type of filter will use up a large amount of resources.

What they'd like to see added to Spotfire is some kind of control that stops the node from crashing when the node is experiencing a condition like this.
