Wenlong Lyu commented on FLINK-17012: ------------------------------------- hi, [~sewen] thanks for the explanation. but I think that it may not be good to do much IO and user code initialization(including state intialization and Function#open) in the constructor, it can easily cause exceptions because of failure of external system and user code exception. It would be difficult to do clean up when exception happens in the constructor. > Expose stage of task initialization > ----------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-17012 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17012 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Metrics, Runtime / Task > Reporter: Wenlong Lyu > Priority: Major > > Currently a task switches to running before fully initialized, does not take > state initialization and operator initialization(#open ) in to account, which > may take long time to finish. As a result, there would be a weird phenomenon > that all tasks are running but throughput is 0. > I think it could be good if we can expose the initialization stage of tasks. > What to you think? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
