Roman Khachatryan commented on FLINK-16931: ------------------------------------------- I'm downgrading the priority of this ticket as the download should only happen in the "cold start" scenario after FLINK-19401. [~qqibrow], please feel free to post the results and upgrade the priority if you're still affected. > Large _metadata file lead to JobManager not responding when restart > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-16931 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16931 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Checkpointing, Runtime / Coordination > Affects Versions: 1.9.2, 1.10.0, 1.11.0, 1.12.0 > Reporter: Lu Niu > Assignee: Lu Niu > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.13.0 > > > When _metadata file is big, JobManager could never recover from checkpoint. > It fall into a loop that fetch checkpoint -> JM timeout -> restart.

The main thread is basically blocked for a while because of > this. One possible solution is to making the downloading part async. More > things might need to consider as the original change tries to make it > single-threaded. [https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/7568] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
