Yes, that could definitely cause this. You should probably avoid using these flink-internal shaded classes and ship your own versions (not shaded).

Thank you Jan for your valuable feedback.
Could it be that I should not use import shaded-jackson classes in my user code? For example import org.apache.flink.shaded.jackson2.com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper?

Bets,

    Hi Flavio,

    when I encountered quite similar problem that you describe, it was
    related to a static storage located in class that was loaded
    "parent-first". In my case it was it was in java.lang.ClassValue,
    but it might (and probably will be) different in your case. The
    problem is that if user-code registers something in some (static)
    storage located in class loaded with parent (TaskTracker)
    classloader, then its associated classes will never be GC'd and
    Metaspace will grow. A good starting point would be not to focus
    on biggest consumers of heap (in general), but to look at where
    the 15k objects of type Class are referenced from. That might help
    you figure this out. I'm not sure if there is something that can
    be done in general to prevent this type of leaks. That would be
    probably question on dev@ mailing list.

    Best,

     Jan

    Hello everybody,
    I was writing this email when a similar thread on this mailing
    list appeared..
    The difference is that the other problem seems to be related
    with Flink 1.10 on YARN and does not output anything helpful in
    debugging the cause of the problem.

    Indeed, in my use case I use Flink 1.11.0 and Flink on a
    standalone session cluster (the job is submitted to the cluster
    using the CLI client).
    The problem arises when I submit the same job for about 20 times
    (this number unfortunately is not deterministic and can change a
    little bit). The error reported by the Task Executor is related
    to the ever growing Metaspace..the error seems to be pretty
    detailed [1].

    I found the same issue in some previous threads on this mailing
    list and I've tried to figure it out the cause of the problem.
    The issue is that looking at the objects allocated I don't really
    get an idea of the source of the problem because the type of
    objects that are consuming the memory are of general purpose
    (i.e. Bytes, Integers and Strings)...these are my "top" memory
    consumers if looking at the output of  jmap -histo <PID>:

    java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace. The metaspace
    out-of-memory error has occurred. This can mean two things:
    either the job requires a larger size of JVM metaspace to load
    classes or there is a class loading leak. In the first case
    'taskmanager.memory.jvm-metaspace.size' configuration option
    should be increased. If the error persists (usually in cluster
    after several job (re-)submissions) then there is probably a
    class loading leak in user code or some of its dependencies which
    has to be investigated and fixed. The task executor has to be
    shutdown...
