No swap space partition in release

Hello,

first of all, this project is awesome. πŸ™‚

Any weeks ago, we installed a new cluster with four nodes and a storage capacity of a half petabyte. it works like a charm,
but I've noticed that the swap space is missing in default installation. This circumstance results in any temporaily system freezes
and inaccessibilities between the nodes if ram-intensive things runs on the node/s. As a solution for the problem described,
we upgraded the nodes with a lot of ram. Won`t the situation be better, if the installer creates a swap partition?

specs of our cluster (4x):
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4108 CPU @ 1.80GHz
24 x 6 TB Harddisks for ods
3 x 1 TB NVME for journals
in the first 32 GB RAM, now upgraded to 64 GB
6 x 10 Gbit/s Intel SFP in bonding

Thanks for feedback πŸ™‚

Regarding swap, it is hard to say. you really should not be in a position to be swapping ram. 32 GB ram was way too low for your setup, even 64 GB is considered low.
