[Paraview] Ongoing Work to Release Unused Memory from Pipeline

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Mike,

There are currently no such plans in the near future, at the least.
But that's definitely something we should start thinking about more
seriously as we start dealing with larger and larger datasets.

We are thinking of basing our Materials Science based software package on VTK and then make the filters available in ParaView but our data sets are already pushing the memory limits of "PCs". Having multiple copies of the data in memory would just make a bad situation worse for us. I know if I write my own pipeline in VTK I can manually dispose of memory from each pipeline step. Just wandering if this type of capability is going to be exposed in someway in an upcoming version of ParaView.
