Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-4094: -------------------------------------- I think that having in both cases (preallocate and no preallocation) a memory pool which manages the off heap buffers (allocation and caching) with eager/lazy allocation of buffers at start up is a good idea to solve the problem. > Off heap memory deallocation might not properly work > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4094 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4094 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Local Runtime > Affects Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Till Rohrmann > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.1.0 > > > A user reported that off-heap memory is not properly deallocated when setting > {{taskmanager.memory.preallocate:false}} (per default) [1]. This can cause > the TaskManager process being killed by the OS. > It should be possible to execute multiple batch jobs with preallocation > turned off. No longer used direct memory buffers should be properly garbage > collected so that the JVM process does not exceed it's maximum memory bounds. > [1] > http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/offheap-memory-allocation-and-memory-leak-bug-td12154.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
