Hi,

What is your job setup? Size of the nodes, memory settings of the Flink/JVM?

9 041 060 strings is awfully small number to bring down a whole cluster. With 
each tmp string having ~30 bytes, that’s only 271MB. Is this really 85% of the 
heap? And also, with parallelism of 6 and checkpoints every 15 minutes, 9 000 
000 of leaked strings should happen only after one month  assuming 500-600 
total number of buckets. (Also assuming that there is a separate file per each 
bucket).
