Yun Gao commented on FLINK-18695: --------------------------------- I future tested the same job with 1) The current version with netty 4.1.39-FINAL 2) the version using 4.1.50-FINAL and use Unpool heap memory 3) the version using 4.1.50-FINAL and use direct memory to fake heap memory, the average heap consumption of a single TaskManager (acquired via _jstat -gc_ and sum each heap region usage together) is || ||4.1.39 ||4.1.50 UnPooled Heap||4.1.50 Faked Heap|| |1500 x 500|181KB|221.4KB|185KB| |500 x 1500|204KB|209KB|204.8KB| It seems that # The overall heap consumption is not very high. # Using un-pooled heap memory might cause some additional overhead. Besides, using direct buffer to fake the heap buffer did not cause failures. > Allow NettyBufferPool to allocate heap buffers > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-18695 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18695 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Network > Reporter: Chesnay Schepler > Assignee: Yun Gao > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.12.0 > > > in 4.1.43 netty made a change to their SslHandler to always use heap buffers > for JDK SSLEngine implementations, to avoid an additional memory copy. > However, our {{NettyBufferPool}} forbids heap buffer allocations. > We will either have to allow heap buffer allocations, or create a custom > SslHandler implementation that does not use heap buffers (although this seems > ill-adviced?). > /cc [~sewen] [~uce] [~NicoK] [~zjwang] [~pnowojski] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
