Kezhu Wang created FLINK-21817: ---------------------------------- Summary: FLIP-27 Source might break subtask and split assignment upon rescale Key: FLINK-21817 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21817 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Connectors / Common Affects Versions: 1.13.0 Reporter: Kezhu Wang
On restoring, splits are add back directly to {{SourceReader}} in {{SourceOperator}}. In no rescaled restoring, bindings between splits and subtasks are preserved due to no repartition in {{RoundRobinOperatorStateRepartitioner}}. But in rescaled restoring, these operator states will be redistributed cross existing subtasks. This might break possible assignment from {{SourceEnumerator}}. Given {{KafkaSource}} as an example, the partition to subtask assignment is decided by {{KafkaSourceEnumerator.getSplitOwner}}. The mappings will break after rescaling. I pushed [a test case|https://github.com/kezhuw/flink/commit/9dc13cd9d7355d468a6ac8aae1b14b3a267581b6#diff-ad6e86c3757199ac3247687a71f9c34ee67b9ac743ae88a9f660950f27bec6eeR238] using {{KafkaSource}} for evaluation. I think it requires api addition to solve in generic and configurable way. Is it a valid issue ? I am not that sure. cc [~jqin] [~sewen] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
