Zhijiang Wang created FLINK-5830: ------------------------------------ Summary: OutOfMemoryError during notify final state in TaskExecutor may cause job stuck Key: FLINK-5830 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5830 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Zhijiang Wang
The scenario is like this: {{JobMaster}} tries to cancel all the executions when process failed execution, and the task executor already acknowledge the cancel rpc message. When notify the final state in {{TaskExecutor}}, it causes OOM in {{AkkaRpcActor}} and this error is caught to log the info. The final state will not be sent any more. The {{JobMaster}} can not receive the final state and trigger the restart strategy. One solution is to catch the {{OutOfMemoryError}} and throw it, then it will cause to shut down the {{ActorSystem}} resulting in exiting the {{TaskExecutor}}. The {{JobMaster}} can be notified of {{TaskExecutor}} failure and fail all the tasks to trigger restart successfully. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
