Okay. If you are using very big values, it often helps to tell Flink to reserve less memory for its internal processing.
Can you try and set the memory fraction lower, e.g., 0.5 lower. Have a look at the option "taskmanager.memory.fraction" ( https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-0.9/setup/config.html ) Greetings, Stephan Am 18.07.2015 15:47 schrieb "Lydia Ickler" <ickle...@googlemail.com>: > Hi, > > yes, it is in one row.
