Github user ramkrish86 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3149 I think that is not the only reason. Some where either these tests are creating more static objects or bigger objects that live for the life time of the JVM. May be this test exposes it. Actually this change in maxPermsize calls for a discussion on how the 'mvn' settings should be and what is the minimum size of heap required. Also in other projects the default jdk version is now moved to 8 atleast for the trunk version. I think similar thing can be done here. Thanks @tonycox .
