Hi Javier, I'm not aware of such issues with Flink, but if you could give us some more details on your setup, I might get some more ideas on what to look for.
are you using the RocksDBStateBackend? (RocksDB is doing some JNI allocations, that could potentially leak memory) Also, are you passing any special garbage collector options? (Maybe some classes are not unloaded) Are you using anything else that is special (such as protobuf or avro formats, or any other big library)?
