Hi! This kind of error (GC overhead exceeded) usually means that the system is reaching a state where it has very many still living objects and frees little memory during each collection. As a consequence, it is basically busy with only garbage collection.
Your job probably has about 500-600 MB or free memory, the rest is at that memory size reserved for JVM overhead and Flink's worker memory. Now, since your job actually does not keep any objects or rows around, this should be plenty. I can only suspect that the Oracle JDBC driver is very memory hungry, thus pushing the system to the limit. (I found this, for example What you can do: For this kind of job, you can simply tell Flink to not reserve as much memory, by using the option "taskmanager.memory.size=1". If the JDBC driver has no leak, but is simply super hungry, this should solve it. Greetings, Stephan I also found these resources concerning Oracle JDBC memory: - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2876895/oracle-t4cpreparedstatement-memory-leaks (bottom answer) - https://community.oracle.com/thread/2220078?tstart=0 On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 5:44 PM, Maximilian Bode < maximilian.b...@tngtech.com> wrote: > Hi Robert, > > I am using 0.10.1. > > > Am 19.01.2016 um 17:42 schrieb Robert Metzger <rmetz...@apache.org>: > > Hi Max, > > which version of Flink are you using? > > On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 5:35 PM, Maximilian Bode < > maximilian.b...@tngtech.com> wrote: > >> Hi everyone, >> >> I am facing a problem using the JDBCInputFormat which occurred in a >> larger Flink job.
