If you use rocksDB state backend, it might consume extra native memory. Some resource framework cluster like yarn would kill the container if the memory usage exceeds some threshold. You can also double check whether it exists in your case.

No matter at least-once or exactly-once you used for checkpoint, it would never lose one message during failure recovery. Unfortunatelly I can not visit the logs you posted. Generally speaking the longer internal checkpoint would mean replaying more source data after failure recovery. In my experience the 5 seconds interval for checkpoint is too frequently in my experience, and you might increase it to 1 minute or so. You can also monitor how long will the checkpoint finish in your application, then you can adjust the interval accordingly. Concerning of the node shutdown you mentioned, I am not quite sure whether it is relevant to your short checkpoint interval. Do you config to use heap state backend? The hs_err file really indicated that you job had encountered the memory issue, then it is better to somehow increase your task manager memory. But if you can analyze the dump hs_err file via some profiler tool for checking the memory usage, it might be more helpful to find the root cause.

Hi, using Flink 1.8.0 1st off I must say Flink resiliency is very impressive, we lost a node and never lost one message by using checkpoints and Kafka. Thanks! The cluster is a self hosted cluster and we use our own zookeeper cluster. We have... 3 zookeepers: 4 cpu, 8GB (each) 3 job nodes: 4 cpu, 8GB (each) 3 task nodes: 4 cpu, 8GB (each) The nodes also share GlusterFS for storing savepoints and checkpoints, GlusterFS is running on the same machines. Yesterday a node shut itself off we the following log messages... - Stopping TaskExecutor akka.tcp://fl...@xxx.xxx.xxx.73:34697/user/taskmanager_0. - Stop job leader service. - Stopping ZooKeeperLeaderRetrievalService /leader/resource_manager_lock. - Shutting down TaskExecutorLocalStateStoresManager. - Shutting down BLOB cache - Shutting down BLOB cache - removed file cache directory /tmp/flink-dist-cache-4b60d79b-1cef-4ffb-8837-3a9c9a205000 - I/O manager removed spill file directory /tmp/flink-io-c9d01b92-2809-4a55-8ab3-6920487da0ed - Shutting down the network environment and its components. Prior to the node shutting off we noticed massive IOWAIT of 140% and CPU load 1minute of 15. And we also got an hs_err file which sais we should increase the memory. I'm attaching the logs here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vp1ytpguimiayw7/AADviCPED47QEy_4rHsGI1Nya?dl=0 I wonder if my 5 second checkpointing is too much for gluster. Any thoughts?
