Hi Fabian, thanks for your reply so you flink is using about 50% of memory for itself right?
anyway now I am running an EMR with 1 master and 5 core all of them are m3.2xlarge with 8 cores and 30GB of memory I would like to run flink on yarn with 40 slots on 5 tm with the maximum available resources, what i do is change in conf-yaml.xml numberofSlots to 8 and default parallelism to 40 run yarn with the command ./yarn-session.sh -n 5 -jm 2048 -tm 23040 (23040 is the maximum allowed out of 30GB I don’t know why) I get an error something like "failed allocating memory after 4/5 container available memory 20992" I suspect that it is not using the master of the cluster for allocating the jm but using one of the core right? in fact 20992 is exactly 23040-2048 then i run it with 20992 ./yarn-session.sh -n 5 -jm 2048 -tm 20992 it succeeds in running 5tm with 40 slots, but when I run a program I always get Caused by: java.io.IOException: Insufficient number of network buffers: required 40, but only 14 available. The total number of network buffers is currently set to 4096. You can increase this number by setting the configuration key 'taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers’. I change the buffers number as robert said from 2048 to 4096 on of my programs run but the second still has same problems Thanks for help Best, michele Il giorno 27/lug/2015, alle ore 11:19, Fabian Hueske <fhue...@gmail.com<mailto:fhue...@gmail.com>> ha scritto: Hi Michele, the 10506 MB refer to the size of Flink's managed memory whereas the 20992 MB refer to the total amount of TM memory. At start-up, the TM allocates a fraction of the JVM memory as byte arrays and manages this portion by itself. The remaining memory is used as regular JVM heap for TM and user code. The purpose of the warning is to tell the user, that the memory configuration might not be optimal. However, this depends of course on the setup environment and should probably be rephrased to make this more clear.

We are aware of these problems and there are actually the following two JIRAs for this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-937 (Change the YARN Client to allocate all cluster resources, if no argument given) --> I think the consensus on the issue was give users an option to allocate everything (so don't do it by default) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1288 (YARN ApplicationMaster sometimes fails to allocate the specified number of workers) How many NodeManager's is YARN reporting in the ResourceManager UI? (in "Active Nodes" column) (I suspect 6?) How much memory per NodeManager is YARN reporting? (You can see this in the "Nodes" page of the RM) > I would like to run 5 nodes with 8 slots each, is it correct?

I guess you have to give the system a few more network buffers using the taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers config parameter. > Can someone help me syep-by-step in a good configuration for such cluster? I > think the documentation is really missing details When starting Flink on YARN, there are usually some WARN log messages in the beginning when the system detects that specified containers will not fit in the cluster. Also, in the ResourceManager UI, you can see the status of the scheduler. This often helps to understand what's going on, resource-wise.

I would like to run 5 nodes with 8 slots each, is it correct? Now the problems: by now i run all tests mistakenly using 40 task managers each with 2048MB and 1 slot (at least it was working) Today i found the error and i tried run 5 task manager and setting a default slot in conf-yaml of 8, giving a task manager memory of 23040 (-tm 23040) that is the limit allowed by yarn but i am getting errors: one TM is not running because there is no available memory. it seems like the jm is not using memory from the master but from the nodes (in fact yarn says TM number 5 is missing 2048 that is the memory for the jm) Then i reduced memories, everything started but i get a runtime error of missing buffer Can someone help me syep-by-step in a good configuration for such cluster? I think the documentation is really missing details Thanks a lot Best Michele
