Hi,

Thanks for reporting the problem. This bug was previously unknown to us. I have created a jira ticket for this bug:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10491

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with running batch jobs in Flink, so I don’t know if there is some hot fix or anything that can at least mitigate/decrease the probability of the bug for you until we fix it properly.

Hi,

this looks like a potential Flink bug. Looping in Nico and Piotr who have looked into that in the past. Could you please comment on that?

Best,

Hi,
 
I am trying to run one large single job graph which has > 10k tasks. The form of the graph is something like
DataSource -> Filter -> Map [...multiple]
  • Sink1
  • Sink2
I am using a parallelism of 10 with 1 slot per task manager and a memory allocation of 32G per TM. The JM is running with 8G.
 
Everything starts up and runs fine with close to 6-7k tasks (this is variable and is mostly the source /filter/map portions) completing and then the graph just hangs.  I managed to connect to the task managers and get a thread dump just in time and found the following deadlock on one of the TMs which apparently seems to be holding up everything else.
Please could someone take a look and advise if there is something I could do or try out to fix this.
 
Marked below are the 2 isolated thread stacks marking the deadlock -
