Andrew Palumbo commented on MAHOUT-1810:
----------------------------------------
Flink does cache intermediate results of a task by default:
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.0/setup/config.html
However, caching of a DRM to memory is not possible and the call to
{{CheckpointedFlinkDrm.cache(...)}} is only stubbed out.
However this is the same situation in H2O and this test passes without issue
there.
> Failing test in flink-bindings: A + B Identically partitioned

> the {{A + B, Identically Partitioned}} test in the Flink RLikeDrmOpsSuite
> fails. This test failure likely indicates an issue with Flink's
> Checkpointing or mapBlock operator:
> {code}
> test("C = A + B, identically partitioned") {
> val inCoreA = dense((1, 2, 3), (3, 4, 5), (5, 6, 7))
> val A = drmParallelize(inCoreA, numPartitions = 2)
> // Create B which would be identically partitioned to A. mapBlock() by
> default will do the trick.
> val B = A.mapBlock() {
> case (keys, block) =>
> val bBlock = block.like() := { (r, c, v) => util.Random.nextDouble()}
> keys -> bBlock
> }
> // Prevent repeated computation non-determinism
> // flink problem is here... checkpoint is not doing what it should
> .checkpoint()
> val inCoreB = B.collect
> printf("A=\n%s\n", inCoreA)
> printf("B=\n%s\n", inCoreB)
> val C = A + B
> val inCoreC = C.collect
> printf("C=\n%s\n", inCoreC)
> // Actual
> val inCoreCControl = inCoreA + inCoreB
> (inCoreC - inCoreCControl).norm should be < 1E-10
> }
> {code}
> The output shous clearly that the line:
> {code}
> val bBlock = block.like() := { (r, c, v) => util.Random.nextDouble()}
> {code}
> in the {{mapBlock}} closure is being calculated more than once.
> Output:
