Hi Ufuk,

There are there snapshots of htop output.
1. snapshot is initial state.
2. snapshot is after submitted one job.
3. Snapshot is the output of the one job with 15000 EPS. And the memory usage is always increasing over time.

Hey Ebru,

let me pull in Aljoscha (CC'd) who might have an idea what's causing this.

Since multiple jobs are running, it will be hard to understand to
which job the state descriptors from the heap snapshot belong to.
- Is it possible to isolate the problem and reproduce the behaviour
with only a single job?

Hi,

We are using Flink 1.3.1 in production, we have one job manager and 3 task
managers in standalone mode. Recently, we've noticed that we have memory
related problems. We use docker container to serve Flink cluster. We have
300 slots and 20 jobs are running with parallelism of 10. Also the job count
may be change over time. Taskmanager memory usage always increases. After
job cancelation this memory usage doesn't decrease. We've tried to
investigate the problem and we've got the task manager jvm heap snapshot.
According to the jam heap analysis, possible memory leak was Flink list
state descriptor. But we are not sure that is the cause of our memory
problem. How can we solve the problem?

Hey Ebru, the memory usage might be increasing as long as a job is running. This is expected (also in the case of multiple running jobs). The screenshots are not helpful in that regard. :-(

What kind of stateful operations are you using? Depending on your use case, you have to manually call `clear()` on the state instance in order to release the managed state.

Best,

Ufuk

Re: Flink memory leak

Hi Ufuk,

We don’t explicitly define any state descriptor. We only use map and filters operator. We thought that gc handle clearing the flink’s internal states. 
So how can we manage the memory if it is always increasing?

Re: Flink memory leak

Ufuk Celebi
Do you use any windowing? If yes, could you please share that code? If
there is no stateful operation at all, it's strange where the list
state instances are coming from.

Re: Flink memory leak

Aljoscha Krettek
I agree with Ufuk, it would be helpful to know what stateful operations are in the jobs (including windowing).

suspect was again NetworkBufferPool. (image 3)
In our system jobs are regularly cancelled and resubmitted so we noticed
that when job is submitted some amount of memory allocated and after
cancelation this allocated memory never freed. So over time memory usage
is always increasing and exceeded the limits.

Re: Flink memory leak

Flavio Pompermaier
We also have the same problem in production. At the moment the solution is to restart the entire Flink cluster after every job..
We've tried to reproduce this problem with a test (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7845) but we don't know whether the error produced by the test and the leak are correlated..

Best,
Flavio

Re: Flink memory leak

Lopez, Javier
Hi,

We have been facing a similar problem. We have tried some different configurations, as proposed in other email thread by Flavio and Kien, but it didn't work. We have a workaround similar to the one that Flavio has, we restart the taskmanagers once they reach a memory threshold. We created a small test to remove all of our dependencies and leave only flink native libraries. This test reads data from a Kafka topic and writes it back to another topic in Kafka. We cancel the job and start another every 5 seconds. After ~30 minutes of doing this process, the cluster reaches the OS memory limit and dies. 

Currently, we have a test cluster with 8 workers and 8 task slots per node. We have one job that uses 56 slots, and we cannot execute that job 5 times in a row because the whole cluster dies. If you want, we can publish our test job.

Regards,

What kind of stateful operations are you using? Depending on your use case,
you have to manually call `clear()` on the state instance in order to
release the managed state.

Hi Ufuk,

There are there snapshots of htop output.
1. snapshot is initial state.
2. snapshot is after submitted one job.
3. Snapshot is the output of the one job with 15000 EPS. And the memory
usage is always increasing over time.

We have two types of Flink job. One has no state full operator contains only maps and filters and the other has time window with count trigger.

In our system jobs are regularly cancelled and resubmitted so we noticed that when job is submitted some amount of memory allocated and after cancelation this allocated memory never freed. So over time memory usage is always increasing and exceeded the limits.

Hi Javier,

It would be helpful if you share your test job with us. 
Which configurations did you try?

Hi Ebru and Javier,

Yes, if you could share this example job it would be helpful.

Ebru: could you explain in a little more details how does your Job(s) look like? Could you post some code? If you are just using maps and filters there shouldn’t be any network transfers involved, aside from Source and Sink functions.

Hi Piotr,

There are two types of jobs.
In first, we use Kafka source and Kafka sink, there isn't any window
operator.
In second job, we use Kafka source, filesystem sink and elastic search
sink and window operator for buffering.

Re: Flink memory leak

Lopez, Javier
Hi,

This is the test flink job we created to trigger this leak https://gist.github.com/javieredo/c6052404dbe6cc602e99f4669a09f7d6
And this is the python script we are using to execute the job thousands of times to get the OOM problem https://gist.github.com/javieredo/4825324d5d5f504e27ca6c004396a107

The cluster we used for this has this configuration:
  • Instance type: t2.large
  • Number of workers: 2
  • HeapMemory: 5500
  • Number of task slots per node: 4
  • TaskMangMemFraction: 0.5
  • NumberOfNetworkBuffers: 2000
We have tried several things, increasing the heap, reducing the heap, more memory fraction, changes this value in the taskmanager.sh "TM_MAX_OFFHEAP_SIZE="2G"; and nothing seems to work.

Thanks for your help.

300 slots and 20 jobs are running with parallelism of 10. Also the
job
count
may be change over time. Taskmanager memory usage always increases.
After
job cancelation this memory usage doesn't decrease. We've tried to
investigate the problem and we've got the task manager jvm heap
snapshot.
According to the jam heap analysis, possible memory leak was Flink
list
state descriptor. But we are not sure that is the cause of our
memory
problem. How can we solve the problem?

We have two types of Flink job. One has no state full operator
contains only maps and filters and the other has time window with
count trigger.
 * We've analysed the jvm heaps again in different conditions. First
we analysed the snapshot when no flink jobs running on cluster. (image
1)
* Then, we analysed the jvm heap snapshot when the flink job that has
no state full operator is running. And according to the results, leak
suspect was NetworkBufferPool (image 2)
*   Last analys, there were both two types of jobs running and leak
suspect was again NetworkBufferPool. (image 3)
In our system jobs are regularly cancelled and resubmitted so we
noticed that when job is submitted some amount of memory allocated and
after cancelation this allocated memory never freed. So over time
memory usage is always increasing and exceeded the limits.

Hi Piotr,

There are two types of jobs.
In first, we use Kafka source and Kafka sink, there isn't any window operator.
In second job, we use Kafka source, filesystem sink and elastic search sink and window operator for buffering.

Re: Flink memory leak

Piotr Nowojski
Hi,

Thanks for sharing this job. 

Do I need to feed some data to the Kafka to reproduce this issue with your script?

Does this OOM issue also happen when you are not using the Kafka source/sink?

And this is the python script we are using to execute the job thousands of times to get the OOM problem https://gist.github.com/javieredo/4825324d5d5f504e27ca6c004396a107

The cluster we used for this has this configuration:

  • Number of workers: 2
  • HeapMemory: 5500
  • Number of task slots per node: 4
  • TaskMangMemFraction: 0.5
  • NumberOfNetworkBuffers: 2000
We have tried several things, increasing the heap, reducing the heap, more memory fraction, changes this value in the taskmanager.sh "TM_MAX_OFFHEAP_SIZE="2G"; and nothing seems to work.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

We have been facing a similar problem. We have tried some different
configurations, as proposed in other email thread by Flavio and
Kien, but it didn't work. We have a workaround similar to the one
that Flavio has, we restart the taskmanagers once they reach a
memory threshold. We created a small test to remove all of our
dependencies and leave only flink native libraries. This test reads
data from a Kafka topic and writes it back to another topic in
Kafka. We cancel the job and start another every 5 seconds. After
~30 minutes of doing this process, the cluster reaches the OS memory
limit and dies.

Currently, we have a test cluster with 8 workers and 8 task slots
per node. We have one job that uses 56 slots, and we cannot execute
that job 5 times in a row because the whole cluster dies. If you
want, we can publish our test job.

you have to manually call `clear()` on the state instance in order

Hi,

You don't need data. With data it will die faster. I tested as well with a small data set, using the fromElements source, but it will take some time to die. It's better with some data.

Re: Flink memory leak

Piotr Nowojski
I don’t know if this is relevant to this issue, but I was constantly getting failures trying to reproduce this leak using your Job, because you were using non deterministic getKey function:
@Override
public Integer getKey(Integer event) {
Random randomGen = new Random((new Date()).getTime());
return randomGen.nextInt() % 8;
}
And quoting Java doc of KeySelector:

"If invoked multiple times on the same object, the returned key must be the same.”

I’m trying to reproduce this issue with following job:


Where IntegerSource is just an infinite source, DisardingSink is well just discarding incoming data. I’m cancelling the job every 5 seconds and so far (after ~15 minutes) my memory consumption is stable, well below maximum java heap size.

Re: Flink memory leak

Piotr Nowojski
Btw, Ebru:

I don’t agree that the main suspect is NetworkBufferPool. On your screenshots it’s memory consumption was reasonable and stable: 596MB -> 602MB -> 597MB. 

PoolThreadCache memory usage ~120MB is also reasonable.

Do you experience any problems, like Out Of Memory errors/crashes/long GC pauses? Or just JVM process is using more memory over time? You are aware that JVM doesn’t like to release memory back to OS once it was used? So increasing memory usage until hitting some limit (for example JVM max heap size) is expected behaviour.

Hi Piotrek,

Thanks for your reply.

We've tested our link cluster again. We have 360 slots, and our cluster
configuration is like this;

jobmanager.rpc.address: %JOBMANAGER%
jobmanager.rpc.port: 6123
jobmanager.heap.mb: 1536
taskmanager.heap.mb: 1536
taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots: 120
taskmanager.memory.preallocate: false
parallelism.default: 1
jobmanager.web.port: 8081
state.backend: filesystem
state.backend.fs.checkpointdir: file:///storage/%CHECKPOINTDIR%
state.checkpoints.dir: file:///storage/%CHECKPOINTDIR%
taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers: 5000

We are using docker based Flink cluster.
WE submitted 36 jobs with the parallelism of 10. After all slots became
full. Memory usage were increasing by the time and one by one task
managers start to die. And the exception was like this;
Taskmanager1 log:
