Piotr Nowojski updated FLINK-13063:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
1.

For the following setup of chained operators:
{noformat}
SourceOperator -> FlatMap -> AsyncOperator{noformat}
Lets assume that input buffer of {{AsyncOperator}} is full. We start processing 
a record from the {{SourceOperator}}, we pass it to the {{FlatMap}}, which fan 
it out (multiplies it 10 times). First multiplied record reaches 
{{AsyncOperator}} and is special treated (stored in 
{{AsyncWaitOperator#pendingStreamElementQueueEntry}} ) and then 
{{AsyncWaitOperator}} waits (and releases) on the checkpoint lock (in 
{{AsyncWaitOperator#addAsyncBufferEntry}} . If a checkpoint is triggered now, 
both {{SourceOperator}} and {{FlatMap}} will be checkpointed assumed that all 
of those 10 multiplied records were processed, which is not true. Only the 
first one is checkpointed by the {{AsyncWatiOperator}}. Remaining 9 are not. So 
if we ever restore state from this checkpoint, we have lost those 9 records.

2.

Similar issue (I think previously known) can happen if for example some 
upstream operator to the {{AsyncOperator}} fires a processing time timer, that 
emits some data. But in that case, 
{{AsyncWaitOperator#pendingStreamElementQueueEntry}} is being overwritten.

3.

If upstream operator has the following pseudo code:
{code:java}
stateA = true
output.collect(x)
stateB = true{code}
one would assume that stateA and stateB access/writes will be atomic from the 
perspective of the checkpoints. But again, because {{AsyncWaitOperator}} 
releases the checkpoint lock, they will not be.
