Xintong Song commented on FLINK-18438:
--------------------------------------
Could you double check that 1.8.0_101 is the java version used by Flink?
The error message suggests that JVM does not recognize the option
`MaxMetaspaceSize`. This JVM option is introduced in Java 8. Therefore if the
error should only occur with lower Java versions. It is wired that you run into
this error with Java 8.
You can find the actual JVM version used by Flink in the following way.
1. Edit `<FLINK_DIR>/bin/taskmanager.sh`, and comment out the following line.
This should disable all the memory related JVM options, and allows the JVM to
be launched. Please be aware that Flink will not work properly without these
options.
bq. export JVM_ARGS="${JVM_ARGS} ${jvm_params}"
2. Run `<FLINK_DIR/bin/start-cluster.sh` to start the cluster.
3. Open `xxx-taskexecutor-xxx.log`, and at the very beginning you should find
the JVM version similar to following.
bq. JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM - AdoptOpenJDK - 1.8/25.252-b09
Flink 1.9 does not have this problem because Flink only starts to specify the
max metaspace size since Flink 1.10.
