"Yes, Flink 1.5.0 will come with better tools to handle this problem. Namely you will be able to limit the “in flight” data, by controlling the number of assigned credits per channel/input gate. Even without any configuring Flink 1.5.0 will out of the box buffer less data, thus mitigating the problem."
