Hi Josson, The TM logs that you attached are only from a 5 minutes time period. Are you sure they are encompassing the period before the potential failure and after the potential failure? It would be also nice if you would provide the logs matching to the charts (like the one you were providing in the previous messages), to correlate events (spike in latency/GC with some timestamp from the logs).
I was not asking necessarily to upgrade to Java9, but an updated/bug fixed version of Java8 [1]. > 1) In Flink 1.4 set up, the data in the Heap is throttled. It never goes out of memory whatever be the ingestion rate. our Windows are 5 minutes windows. > 2) In Flink 1.8 set up, HeapKeyedStateBackend is never throttled and fills up fast. When Old-gen space goes beyond 60-70% even the Mixed GC or Full GC doesn't reclaim space. In both cases there is the same mechanism for the backpressure. If a task's output runs out of buffers to put produced records, it will block the task. It can be that between 1.4 and 1.8, with credit based flow control changes, the amount of available buffers for the tasks on your setup has grown, so the tasks are backpressuring later. This in turn can sometimes mean that at any point of time there is more data buffered on the operator's state, like `WindowOperator`. I'm not sure what's the best/easiest way how to check this: 1. the amount of buffered data might be visible via metrics [2][3] 2. if you enable DEBUG logs, it should be visible via: > LOG.debug("Using a local buffer pool with {}-{} buffers", numberOfRequiredMemorySegments, maxNumberOfMemorySegments); entry logged by `org.apache.flink.runtime.io.network.buffer.LocalBufferPool`.
