What is the base of the cutter made out of? Does the water jet defuse before hitting the base?

Another annoying point: the documentation only lists the api methods you can call, but not the ones you cannot. I was a bit irritated to find out that the /_update method is not supported on AWS ESS

A small word of caution: I'd strongly recommend against using a huge java heap size. Java GC is stop the world, and a huge java heap size can lead to hour long gc sessions. It's much better to store data in a memory mapped file that is off heap, and access accordingly. Still very fast.
