Nico Kruber commented on FLINK-7400:
------------------------------------
Please note that this affects (at least) all (batch) programs with the
following options set (which do not make much sense for streaming):
{code}
taskmanager.memory.off-heap=true
taskmanager.memory.size=<any value>
taskmanager.memory.preallocate=true
{code}
If, instead, {{taskmanager.memory.fraction}} is used, programs may be safe due
to FLINK-7401 but the actual additional buffer that we get from that may be too
small, especially if RocksDB or other libraries using off-heap memory are used.
> off-heap limits set to conservatively in yarn

> Key: FLINK-7400
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7400
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: YARN
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2
> Reporter: Nico Kruber
> Assignee: Nico Kruber
>
> Inside {{ContaineredTaskManagerParameters}}, since FLINK-6217, the
> {{offHeapSize}} is set to the amount of memory Flink will use off-heap which
> will be set as the value for {{-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize}} in various cases.
> This does not account for any off-heap use by other components than Flink,
> e.g. RocksDB, other libraries, or the JVM itself.
> We should add the {{cutoff}} from the {{CONTAINERIZED_HEAP_CUTOFF_RATIO}}
> configuration parameter to {{offHeapSize}} as implied by the description on
> what this parameter is there for.
