Arvid Heise created FLINK-14480:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Sort out exception supression during snapshotting for 
non-running tasks.
                 Key: FLINK-14480
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14480
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
    Affects Versions: 1.10.0
            Reporter: Arvid Heise


Following-up on Flink-14370.

As [~becket_qin] wrote: "The cause [of Flink-14370] was that when all the 
records are processed before a snapshot was taken, the records that could not 
be sent out trigger the snapshot to fail. That snapshot failure will not cause 
the job to exit. However, all the records in the KafkaProducer are already 
expired after the snapshot failure. So when the producer closes, there will be 
no more exception thrown. Thus the job finished successfully.

It looks that the expected behavior from connector is to report exception in 
{{close()}} method as long as there was a record that could not be sent. On the 
other hand, exception thrown from {{CheckpointedFunction.snapshotState()}} 
might be ignored. Not sure if this is reasonable, but this expectation is not 
super clear from the connector implementation's perspective.

In terms of immediate fix, [~arvid.he...@gmail.com] proposes to always throw 
exception as long as there has been a record sending failure. I agree that is 
the right fix per current expected behavior on the connectors."

[~kkl0u], [~pnowojski] any other idea on how to resolve it?
