   Alternative option 4: Catch out-of-memory exceptions at quite high level in HTTPHandlers and DICOM receivers
     and implement retries.  After a few retries, fail for good and return "out-of-resources".
     Would be interesting to log these errors and count them in the prometheus metrics.

+  in the database, so maybe the rest of the file could be "streamed" directly to disk and not kept in memory?
 * To investigate: usage of mapped_file (not only in the indexer plugin):
