Hi, Flink redirects stdout to the taskmanager.out when starting TaskManager. If taskmanager.out is deleted, Flink cannot automatically create taskmanager.out, which means any subsequent output to stdout will be lost.
If you want to clean up the content of taskmanager.out, you can try using: > taskmanager.out This operation does not modify the Inode of the file and ensures that the Taskmanager can continue to redirects stdout to taskmanager.out Best, Weihua > 2022年5月15日 下午7:04,Zain Haider Nemati <zain.hai...@retailo.co> 写道: > > Hi, > I have been running a streaming job which prints data to .out files the size > of the file has gotten really large and is choking the root memory for my VM. > Is it ok to delete the .out files?
