Hi! The JVM is allowed 1448m of memory, and the JVM should never use more heap than that.
The fact that the process is using more than 2GB memory in total means that some libraries are allocating memory outside the heap. You can activate the memory logger to diagnose that: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/setup/config.html#memory-and-performance-debugging Greetings, Stephan On Thu, Aug 4, 2016 at 3:41 AM, Jack Huang <jackhu...@mz.com> wrote: > Hi Max, > > Changing yarn-heap-cutoff-ratio works seem to suffice for the time being. > Thanks for your help. > > Regards, > Jack > > On Tue, Aug 2, 2016 at 11:11 AM, Jack Huang <jackhu...@mz.com> wrote: > >> Hi Max, >> >> Is there a way to limit the JVM memory usage (something like the -Xmx >> flag) for the task manager so that it won't go over the YARN limit but will >> just run GC until there is memory to use?
