Hi, this sounds like a serious regression wrt Flink 1.3.2 and we should definitely find out what's causing this problem. Given from what I see in the logs, the following happens:
For some time the JobManager seems to no longer receive heartbeats from the TaskManager. This could be, for example, due to long GC pauses or heavy load which starves the ActorSystem's threads which are responsible for sending the heartbeats. Due to this, the TM's ActorSystem is quarantined which effectively renders them useless because the JM will henceforth ignore all messages from these systems. The only way to resolve this problem is to restart the ActorSystem. By setting taskmanager.exit-on-fatal-akka-error to true in flink-conf.yaml, a quarantined TM will shut down. If you run the Flink cluster on Yarn, then a new substitute TM will be started if you have still some container restarts left. That way, the system should be able to recover. Additionally you could try to play around with akka.watch.heartbeat.interval and akka.watch.heartbeat.pause which control the heartbeat interval and the acceptable pause. By increasing the latter, the system should tolerate longer GC pauses and period of high load. However, this only addresses the symptoms of the problem and I'd like to find out what's causing the problem. In order to further debug the problem, it would be really helpful to obtain the logs of the JobManager and the TaskManagers on DEBUG log level and with taskmanager.debug.memory.startLogThread set to true. Additionally it would be interesting to see whats happening on the TaskManagers when you observe high load. So obtaining a profiler dump via VisualVM would be great. And last but not least, it also helps to learn more about the job you're running. What kind of connectors is it using? Are you using Flink's metric system? How is the Flink cluster deployed? Which other libraries are you using in your job? Thanks a lot for your help!
