Hi Stephan, thanks for your fast answer. Just setting the Flink-managed memory to a low value would not have worked for us, as we need joins etc. in the same job.
After investigating the JDBCInputFormat, we found the line statement = dbConn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY); to be the culprit; to be more exact, the scrollable result set. When replaced with TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, some changes have to be made to nextRecord() and reachedEnd(), but this does the job without memory leak. Another change that might be useful (as far as performance is concerned) is disabling autocommits and letting users decide the fetchSize (somewhat in parallel to batchInterval in JDBCOutputFormat).
