Github user bhatsachin commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/553#issuecomment-99786510 Hey Robert, please correct me if I am wrong. According to this doc, https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/jre/api/management/extension/com/sun/management/OperatingSystemMXBean.html OperatingSystemMXBean of the sun package is available for Java 6 too. Only the method getProcessCpuTime is unavailable. Hence I believe the logging and exception will not occur for each heartbeat.
