Symptoms
When you rebuild an index for a table in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014, SQL Cache Memory may decrease and CPU utilization increases. Additionally, SQL Server may experience out-of-memory errors.
This issue occurs because much memory is consumed by the MEMORYCLERK_SQLLOGPOOL memory clerk that is used internally for transaction log activities.
