Re: Maybe a flink bug. Job keeps in FAILING state
Thanks for reporting this problem Joshua. I think this is actually a problem we should fix. The cause seems to be that we swallow the OOM exception when calling `Task#failExternally`. Probably we don't set the right uncaught exception handler in the thread which executes the checkpoint. Let's continue our discussion on the JIRA issue. Thanks Zhijiang for analysing the problem.

Thanks for opening this ticket and I would watch it. Flink does not handle OOM issue specially. I remembered we ever discussed the similar issue before but forgot the conclusion then or have other concerns for it. I am not sure whether it is worth to fix atm, maybe Till or Chesnay could give a final decision.

Re: Maybe a flink bug. Job keeps in FAILING state
Thanks for the reminding @Chesnay Schepler . I just looked throught the related logs. Actually all the five "Source: ServiceLog" tasks are not in terminal state on JM view, the relevant processes are as follows: 1. The checkpoint in task causes OOM issue which would call `Task#failExternally` as a result, we could see the log "Attempting to fail task externally" in tm. 2. The source task would transform state from RUNNING to FAILED and then starts a canceler thread for canceling task, we could see log "Triggering cancellation of task" in tm. 3. When JM starts to cancel the source tasks, the rpc call `Task#cancelExecution` would find the task was already in FAILED state as above step 2, we could see log "Attempting to cancel task" in tm. At last all the five source tasks are not in terminal states from jm log, I guess the step 2 might not create canceler thread successfully, because the root failover was caused by OOM during creating native thread in step1, so it might exist possibilities that createing canceler thread is not successful as well in OOM case which is unstable. If so, the source task would not been interrupted at all, then it would not report to JM as well, but the state is already changed to FAILED before. For the other vertex tasks, it does not trigger `Task#failExternally` in step 1, and only receives the cancel rpc from JM in step 3. And I guess at this time later than the source period, the canceler thread could be created succesfully after some GCs, then these tasks could be canceled as reported to JM side. I think the key problem is under OOM case some behaviors are not within expectations, so it might bring problems.
