Joey Echeverria commented on FLINK-11205: ----------------------------------------- I'm seeing this same issue when running Flink jobs that are in a restart loop. The restart policy is set with a very large number of max attempts and the Flink job throws an exception on each record. I'll see if I can reproduce with one of the example jobs. > Task Manager Metaspace Memory Leak > ----------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-11205 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11205 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Runtime / Coordination > Affects Versions: 1.5.5, 1.6.2, 1.7.0 > Reporter: Nawaid Shamim > Priority: Major > Attachments: Screenshot 2018-12-18 at 12.14.11.png, Screenshot > 2018-12-18 at 15.47.55.png > > > Job Restarts causes task manager to dynamically load duplicate classes. > Metaspace is unbounded and grows with every restart. YARN aggressively kill > such containers but this affect is immediately seems on different task > manager which results in death spiral. > Task Manager uses dynamic loader as described in > [https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/monitoring/debugging_classloading.html] > {quote} > *YARN* > YARN classloading differs between single job deployments and sessions: > * When submitting a Flink job/application directly to YARN (via {{bin/flink > run -m yarn-cluster ...}}), dedicated TaskManagers and JobManagers are > started for that job. Those JVMs have both Flink framework classes and user > code classes in the Java classpath. That means that there is _no dynamic > classloading_ involved in that case. > * When starting a YARN session, the JobManagers and TaskManagers are started > with the Flink framework classes in the classpath. The classes from all jobs > that are submitted against the session are loaded dynamically. > {quote} > The above is not entirely true specially when you set {{-yD > classloader.resolve-order=parent-first}} . We also above observed the above > behaviour when submitting a Flink job/application directly to YARN (via > {{bin/flink run -m yarn-cluster ...}}). > !Screenshot 2018-12-18 at 12.14.11.png! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
