What does this PR do?
Updates only test code to be able to run a test that consumes big memory if:
The reason to limit the JDK version is that on 16GB machine the G1GC is more efficient than the one on previous JDKs and so let complete the test with 10GB heap, while in JDK 17 it consistently fails with OOM error.
