Set memory limits for confluentinc/confluent-local image

[hyzyla]

I would like to reduce memory consumtion by kafka for local development

I've tried setting like that:

  kafka:
    image: confluentinc/confluent-local
    ports: ["9092:9092"]
    environment:
      KAFKA_OPTS: "-Xmx256m -Xms256m"

but got error:

 ===> Check if kafka brokers are up
kafka-1  | Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx256m -Xms256m
kafka-1  | Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
kafka-1  | Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
