1.10.

+
+Apache Flink 1.10 comes with significant changes to the memory model of the
Task Managers and configuration options for your Flink applications. These
recently-introduced changes make Flink more adaptable to all kinds of
deployment environments (e.g. Kubernetes, Yarn, Mesos), providing strict
control over its memory consumption. In this post, we describe Flink’s memory
model, as it stands in Flink 1.10, how to set up and manage memory consumption
of your Flink applications and the recent changes the community implemented in
the latest Apache Flink release.

+## Introduction to Flink’s memory model
+
+Having a clear understanding of Apache Flink’s memory model allows you to
manage resources for the various workloads more efficiently. The following
diagram illustrates the main memory components in Flink:

+
+The Task Manager process is a JVM process. On a high level, its memory
consists of the *JVM Heap* and *Off-Heap* memory. These types of memory are
consumed by Flink directly or by JVM for its specific purposes (i.e. metaspace
etc.). There are two major memory consumers within Flink: the user code of job
operator tasks and the framework itself consuming memory for internal data
structures, network buffers, etc.
+
+**Please note that** the user code has direct access to all memory types: *JVM
Heap, Direct* and *Native memory*. Therefore, Flink cannot really control its
allocation and usage. There are however two types of Off-Heap memory which are
consumed by tasks and controlled explicitly by Flink:
