[~aljoscha] Yes! The pipeline consistently succeeds with this change. Thanks for your effort. I suspect we will intregrate this replacement coder while we wait for the fix to come out.

>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.1.0

> I’ve been running a Beam pipeline on Flink. Depending on the dataset size and the heap memory configuration of the jobmanager and taskmanager, I may run into an EOFException, which causes the job to fail.
> As [discussed on Flink's mailinglist|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/EOFException-related-to-memory-segments-during-run-of-Beam-pipeline-on-Flink-td15255.html] (stacktrace enclosed), Flink catches these EOFExceptions and activates disk spillover. Because Beam wraps these exceptions, this mechanism fails, the exception travels up the stack, and the job aborts.
> Hopefully this is enough information and this is something that can be adjusted for in Beam. I'd be glad to provide more information where needed.
