Hi,

We're in the middle of testing the upgrade of our data processing flows from 
Flink 1.6.4 to 1.9.1. We're seeing that flows which were running just fine on 
1.6.4 now fail on 1.9.1 with the same application resources and input data 
size. It seems that there have been some changes around how the data is sorted 
prior to being fed to the CoGroup operator - this is the error that we 
encounter:

failed.

I drilled further down into the YARN app logs, and I found that the container 
was running out of physical memory:

2019-11-19 12:49:23,068 INFO  org.apache.flink.yarn.YarnResourceManager         
            - Closing TaskExecutor connection 
container_e42_1574076744505_9444_01_000004 because: Container 
[pid=42774,containerID=container_e42_1574076744505_9444_01_000004] is running 
beyond physical memory limits. Current usage: 12.0 GB of 12 GB physical memory 
used; 13.9 GB of 25.2 GB virtual memory used. Killing container.

This is what leads my suspicions as this resourcing configuration worked just 
fine on 1.6.4

I'm working on getting heap dumps of these applications to try and get a better 
understanding of what's causing the blowup in physical memory required myself, 
but it would be helpful if anyone knew what relevant changes have been made 
between these versions or where else I could look? There are some features in 
1.9 that we'd like to use in our flows so getting this sorted out, no pun 
intended, is inhibiting us from doing so.

Best,
Andreas
