Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-18353:
--------------------------------------
Is it worth considering removing the direct memory limit for the JM?
Have we seen issues in the past caused by that value not being set?
If not, and the introduction of this causes issues, it could make sense to go
back to not setting it.
[~xintongsong][~stevenz3wu] What are your thoughts?
> [1.11.0] maybe document jobmanager behavior change regarding
> -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize

> Key: FLINK-18353
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18353
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation, Runtime / Configuration
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Reporter: Steven Zhen Wu
> Priority: Major
>
> I know FLIP-116 (Unified Memory Configuration for Job Managers) is introduced
> in 1.11. That does cause a small behavior change regarding
> `-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize`. Previously, jobmanager don't set JVM arg
> `-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize`, which means JVM can use up to -`Xmx` size for
> direct memory. Now `-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize` is always set to
> [jobmanager.memory.off-heap.size|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/ops/config.html#jobmanager-memory-off-heap-size]
> config (default 128 mb).
>
> {{It is possible for jobmanager to get "java.lang.OufOfMemoryError: Direct
> Buffer Memory" without tuning
> }}{{[jobmanager.memory.off-heap.size|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/ops/config.html#jobmanager-memory-off-heap-size]}}
> especially for high-parallelism jobs. Previously, no tuning needed.
>
> Maybe we should point out the behavior change in the migration guide?
