Enhance the SSM paging logic

currently SSM holds page files once they are created and does not release the file handles or shrink the page files until SSM terminates. we think an enhancement is required so that the page files can be either released or actively cleaned up once they are not used.

    Hi Xibei,

    After more discussion with development team, there is one case we need to further clarify with you.

    If all the application workload burst all come at the same time, even if there is such a feature to clean up paging file, it won't help.

    Say if you have 200G disk space, you configured 100G for task input, 100G for task output, for each application running at the host, assuming there are two SSMs running at the same time, if the workload burst come at different time, the feature can help; But if the workload burst come at the same time, they would compete for the 200G disk space. The application will run into problem if there is not enough paging disk space.
