Hi @seshan,
I’ve opened an issue to make this clearer in our documentation.

For 2 gigabytes of memory:

JOB_MAIN_CONTAINER_MEMORY_REQUEST= 2gJOB_MAIN_CONTAINER_MEMORY_LIMIT= 2g

For CPU you should express the percentage of a single core:

JOB_MAIN_CONTAINER_CPU_REQUEST= 0.50 # (50% of a single core) JOB_MAIN_CONTAINER_CPU_LIMIT= 0.50 # (50% of a single core)
