ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-2235: --------------------------------------- GitHub user mxm opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/859 [FLINK-2235] fix calculation of free memory for local execution The Java runtime may return Long.MAX_VALUE for a call to the maxMemory() method of the Runtime class. In these cases, we simply use the value returned by freeMemory().

After a quick look in the code it seems that the > call to {{EnvironmentInformation.getSizeOfFreeHeapMemoryWithDefrag()}} > returns a wrong estimate of the heap memory size. > Moreover, the same user switched to Oracle JDK 1.8 and that made the error > disappear. So I'm guessing this is some Java 1.6 quirk. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
