Zhijiang commented on FLINK-16645: ---------------------------------- Thanks for the concern. If you are interested, I can also assign it to you. :) > Limit the maximum backlogs in subpartitions for data skew case > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-16645 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16645 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Runtime / Network > Reporter: Zhijiang > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.11.0 > > > In the case of data skew, most of the buffers in partition's LocalBufferPool > are probably requested away and accumulated in certain subpartition, which > would increase in-flight data to slow down the barrier alignment. > We can set up a proper config to control how many backlogs are allowed for > one subpartition. If one subpartition reaches this threshold, it will make > the buffer pool unavailable which blocks task processing continuously. Then > we can reduce the in-flight data for speeding up checkpoint process a bit and > not impact on the performance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
