Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-16408:
---------------------------------------
A growing metaspace size is not per se a proof that Flink will eventually run
out of it because it could simply be the case that the garbage collection of
old classes is not fast enough. Once you will get closer to the maximum
metaspace size the GC behaviour will become more aggressive and should ensure
that old classes get removed. Hence, did you experience that Flink would fail
with an out of metaspace memory error?

> In order to avoid class leaks due to creating multiple user code class
> loaders and loading class multiple times in a recovery case, I would suggest
> to bind the lifetime of a user code class loader to the lifetime of a slot.
> More precisely, the user code class loader should live at most as long as the
> slot which is using it.
