Hi Till,
Any idea why it happened? I've tried different configurations for
configuring our Flink cluster, but the cluster always fails after 4 or 5
hours.
According to the log, looks like the total number of slots becomes 0 at
the end, and YarnClusterClient shuts down application master as a result. Why
the slots are not released? Or are they actually crushed and thus no longer
available?
I'm trying to deploy the first Flink cluster within out company. And this
issue is slowing us down from proving that Flink actually works for us.
We'd appreciate your help on it!
Thanks,
Bowen
