Stephan Ewen created FLINK-10317: ------------------------------------ Summary: Configure Metaspace size by default Key: FLINK-10317 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10317 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Startup Shell Scripts Affects Versions: 1.5.3 Reporter: Stephan Ewen
We should set the size of the JVM Metaspace to a sane default, like {{-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m}}. If not set, the JVM offheap memory will grow indefinitely with repeated classloading and Jitting, eventually exceeding allowed memory on docker/yarn or similar setups. It is hard to come up with a good default, however, I believe the error messages one gets when metaspace is too small are easy to understand (and easy to take action), while it is very hard to figure out why the memory footprint keeps growing steadily and infinitely. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
