Zhu Zhu commented on FLINK-14163:
---------------------------------
+1 to fix it with a simple check first. As long as we are call `get()` on the
future directly, a timeout may still lead to blocked main thread which we are
trying to avoid. And of course finally we will need a timeout to support the
async handling of the partition registration.
> Execution#producedPartitions is possibly not assigned when used

> Key: FLINK-14163
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14163
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Runtime / Coordination
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0, 1.10.0
> Reporter: Zhu Zhu
> Assignee: Yuan Mei
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.10.0
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Currently {{Execution#producedPartitions}} is assigned after the partitions
> have completed the registration to shuffle master in
> {{Execution#registerProducedPartitions(...)}}.
> The partition registration is an async interface
> ({{ShuffleMaster#registerPartitionWithProducer(...)}}), so
> {{Execution#producedPartitions}} is possible[1] not set when used.
> Usages includes:
> 1. deploying this task, so that the task may be deployed without its result
> partitions assigned, and the job would hang. (DefaultScheduler issue only,
> since legacy scheduler handled this case)
> 2. generating input descriptors for downstream tasks:
> 3. retrieve {{ResultPartitionID}} for partition releasing:
> [1] If a user uses Flink default shuffle master {{NettyShuffleMaster}}, it is
> not problematic at the moment since it returns a completed future on
> registration, so that it would be a synchronized process. However, if users
> implement their own shuffle service in which the
> {{ShuffleMaster#registerPartitionWithProducer}} returns an pending future, it
> can be a problem. This is possible since customizable shuffle service is open
> to users since 1.9 (via config "shuffle-service-factory.class").
> To avoid issues to happen, we may either
> 1. fix all the usages of {{Execution#producedPartitions}} regarding the async
> assigning, or
> 2. change {{ShuffleMaster#registerPartitionWithProducer(...)}} to a sync
> interface
