Nico Kruber updated FLINK-10762: -------------------------------- Description: Every call to {{SingleInputGate#getNextBufferOrEvent()}} will also try to request partitions via {{SingleInputGate#requestPartitions()}}. However, in the current design, this must be under the {{requestLock}} which is costly and unnecessary. I propose a redesign to change that and make the {{SingleInputGate#requestPartitions()}} a one-time only thing that should be called *before* going into any loop asking for new records. In that case, we could keep the lock and ignore any performance-related penalties. Alternatively, if we had a separate {{unrequestedPartitions}} list aside to {{inputChannels}} and only go through these when executing {{SingleInputGate#requestPartitions()}}, we would change {{updateInputChannel}} to always request the newly created partition and will not have the concurrency issue between these two methods anymore. This {{unrequestedPartitions}} list would basically also make {{requestedPartitionsFlag}} obsolete if we, for example, set it to {{Optional.empty}} after finishing the requests. was: Every call to {{SingleInputGate#getNextBufferOrEvent()}} will also try to request partitions via {{SingleInputGate#requestPartitions()}}.
