Hi Andrey,

Thanks for your response. I was trying to get the logs somewhere but they
are biggish (~4Mb). Do you suggest somewhere I could put them?

In any case, I can see exceptions like this:

2019/03/18 10:11:50,763 DEBUG
org.apache.flink.runtime.jobmaster.slotpool.SlotPool          - Releasing

java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture.uniExceptionally(CompletableFuture.java:870)
...

It looks like a TM may crash, and then the JM. And then the JM is not able
to find slots for the tasks in a reasonable time frame? Weirdly, we are
running 13 TMs with 6 slots each (we used legacy mode in 1.6), and we
always try to keep an extra TM worth of free slots just in case. Looking at
the dashboard, I see 12 TMs, 2 free slots, but we tell Flink 13 are
available when we start the session in yarn.

Any ideas? It is way less stable for us these days without having changed
settings much since we started using Flink around 1.2 some time back.

Thanks,

Bruno
