Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-15325:
---------------------------------------
Making this behaviour configurable sounds good to me [~zhuzh]. I couldn't come
up with a solution which would work automatically w/o introducing some auto
magic.
> Input location preference which affects task distribution may make certain
> job performance worse

> When running TPC-DS jobs in a session cluster, we observed that sometimes
> tasks are not evenly distributed in TMs. The root cause turned out to be that
> the downstream tasks tend to be TM or host local with its input tasks. This
> helps to reduce network shuffle.
> However, in certain cases, like the topology presented in the attached image,
> jamming the input task's TM and machine with downstream tasks would affect
> the performance. In this case, respecting input location preferences is
> causing troubles more than bringing benefits.
> So I'm wondering whether we should introduce a config so that users can
> disable input location preferences?
