> The {{FlinkMetricContainer}} wraps the Beam metric container for reporting metrics, but also stores them as Flink accumulators. With high parallelism jobs with over a thousand tasks and many built-in Beam metrics for every Beam step, this can accumulate to over 100MB of serialized data which is stored in the JobManager's ExecutionGraph. This then fails to even sent over the wire, due to the akka.framesize limit (10MB by default), and manifests in {{500 Internal Server Error}}s in the web frontend.
> We need to introduce an option to disable the reporting via accumulators. It is mostly useful for batch workloads where you can retrieve the final accumulator values at the end of the job. It adds a lot of memory and network overhead.
> Perhaps we could even turn off the accumulators for streaming jobs, or entirely and make them opt-in.
