---------------------------------------
Perfect! Thanks a lot!
> CEP operator leaks state
> ------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-7606
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7606
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CEP
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Matteo Ferrario
> Attachments: heap-dump1.png, heap-dump2.png, heap-dump3.png
>
>
> The NestedMapsStateTable grows up continuously without free the heap memory.
> We created a simple job that processes a stream of messages and uses CEP to
> generate an outcome message when a specific pattern is identified.
> The messages coming from the stream are grouped by a key defined in a
> specific field of the message.
> We've also added the "within" clause (set as 5 minutes), indicating that two
> incoming messages match the pattern only if they come in a certain time
> window.
> What we've seen is that for every key present in the message, an NFA object
> is instantiated in the NestedMapsStateTable and it is never deallocated.
> Also the "within" clause didn't help: we've seen that if we send messages
> that don't match the pattern, the memory grows up (I suppose that the state
> of NFA is updated) but it is not cleaned also after the 5 minutes of time
> window defined in "within" clause.
> If you need, I can provide more details about the job we've implemented and
> also the screenshots about the memory leak.
