Stephan Ewen created FLINK-2004: ----------------------------------- Summary: Memory leack in presence of failed checkpoints in KafkaSource Key: FLINK-2004 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2004 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Streaming Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Stephan Ewen Assignee: Robert Metzger Priority: Critical Fix For: 0.9
Checkpoints that fail never send a commit message to the tasks. Maintaining a map of all pending checkpoints introduces a memory leak, as entries for failed checkpoints will never be removed. Approaches to fix this: - The source cleans up entries from older checkpoints once a checkpoint is committed (simple implementation in a linked hash map) - The commit message could include the optional state handle (source needs not maintain the map) - The checkpoint coordinator could send messages for failed checkpoints? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
