Hi, Thanks for your help with this. 🙂
The EMR cluster has 3 15GB VMs, and the flink cluster is started with: /usr/lib/flink/bin/yarn-session.sh -d -n 3 -tm 5760 -jm 5760 -s 3 Usually the task runs for about 15 minutes before it restarts, usually due to with an "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" exception. The figures came from a MemoryAnalyzer session on a manual memory dump from one of the taskmanagers. The total size of that heap was only 1.8gb. In that heap, 1.7gb is taken up by the static field "files" in DeleteOnExitHook, which is a linked hash set containing the 9 million strings. A full example of one the path is /tmp/hadoop-yarn/s3a/s3ablock-0001-6061210725685.tmp, at for 120 bytes per char[] for a solid 1.2gb of chars. Then 200mb for their String wrappers and another 361MB for LinkedHashMap$Entry objects. Despite valiantly holding on to an array of 16777216 HashMap$Node elements, the LinkedHashMap can only contribute another 20MB or so. I goofed in not taking that 85% figure from MemoryAnalyzer - it tells me DeleteOnExitHook is responsible for 96.98% of the heap dump. Looking at the files it managed to write before this started to happen regularly, it looks like they're being written approximately every 3 minutes. I'll triple check our config, but I'm reasonably sure the job is configured to checkpoint every 15 minutes - could something else be causing it to write? This may all be a red herring - something else may be taking up the taskmanagers memory which didn't make it into that heap dump. I plan to repeat the analysis on a heapdump created by -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError shortly.

Size of the nodes, memory settings of the Flink/JVM? 9 041 060 strings is awfully small number to bring down a whole cluster. With each tmp string having ~30 bytes, that’s only 271MB. Is this really 85% of the heap? And also, with parallelism of 6 and checkpoints every 15 minutes, 9 000 000 of leaked strings should happen only after one month assuming 500-600 total number of buckets. (Also assuming that there is a separate file per each bucket).

Heap dumps suggest that this time they're clogged with buffers instead, which makes sense. Our job has parallelism of 6 and checkpoints every 15 minutes - if anything, we'd like to increase the frequency of that checkpoint duration. I suspect this could be affected by the partition structure we were bucketing to as well, and at any given moment we could be receiving data for up to 280 buckets at once. Could this be a factor?

I don’t know about other solutions. I would suggest to ask this question directly to Steve L. in the bug ticket [1], as he is the one that fixed the issue. If there is no workaround, maybe it would be possible to put a pressure on the Hadoop guys to back port the fix to older versions?

However since it's shaded, maybe this could be fixed by building a Flink FS referencing 3.3.0? Last I checked I think it referenced 3.1.0.

I've tried setting the following in my core-site.xml: fs.s3a.fast.upload.buffer=true To try and avoid writing the buffer files, but the taskmanager breaks with the same problem.

I'm pulling Klou into this conversation who knows more about the StreamingFileSink. @Klou does the StreamingFileSink relies on DeleteOnExitHooks to clean up files?

We've recently noticed that some TaskManagers fail (causing all the jobs running on them to fail) with an "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded”. The taskmanager (and jobs that should be running on it) remain down until manually restarted. I managed to take and analyze a memory dump from one of the afflicted taskmanagers. It showed that 85% of the heap was made up of the java.io.DeleteOnExitHook.files hashset. The majority of the strings in that hashset (9041060 out of ~9041100) pointed to files that began /tmp/hadoop-yarn/s3a/s3ablock The problem seems to affect jobs that make use of the StreamingFileSink - all of the taskmanager crashes have been on the taskmaster running at least one job using this sink, and a cluster running only a single taskmanager / job that uses the StreamingFileSink crashed with the GC overhead limit exceeded error. I've had a look for advice on handling this error more broadly without luck. Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.
