Hi Folks: We have streaming Flink application (using v 1.6.2) and it dies within 12 hours. We have configured number of restarts which is 10 at the moment. Sometimes the job runs for some time and then within a very short time has a number of restarts and finally fails. In other instances, the restarts happen randomly. So there is no pattern that I could discern for the restarts. I can increase the restart count but would like to see if there is any advice on the root cause of this issue. I've seen a some emails in the user groups but could not find any definitive solution or investigation steps.
Is there any any on how to investigate it further or resolve it ? The exception we see in the job manager is: 2020-01-29 06:15:42,371 INFO org.apache.flink.runtime.executiongraph.ExecutionGraph - Job testJob (d65a52389f9ea30def1fe522bf3956c6) switched from state FAILING to FAILED. org.apache.flink.runtime.io.network.netty.exception.RemoteTransportException: Connection unexpectedly closed by remote task manager 'ip-xx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ec2.internal/xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:39623'.
