ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on FLINK-4094:
-----------------------------------------------
Offheap direct memory cannot be cleared unless a full GC happens. If the
allocated memory happens to be in the active working set always (like this
preallocate does) then there is always the chance of reusing the existing
allocated direct memory and things should be fine.
> Off heap memory deallocation might not properly work

> Key: FLINK-4094
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4094
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Local Runtime
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> A user reported that off-heap memory is not properly deallocated when setting
> {{taskmanager.memory.preallocate:false}} (per default) [1]. This can cause
> the TaskManager process being killed by the OS.
> It should be possible to execute multiple batch jobs with preallocation
> turned off. No longer used direct memory buffers should be properly garbage
> collected so that the JVM process does not exceed it's maximum memory bounds.
