Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-6042:
--------------------------------------
Taking your argument, why is it better to add the exception information method
to the {{ArchivedExecutionGraph}} and making it thereby accessible to all
{{AbstractExecutionGraphHandler}} handlers? Wouldn't it make sense to only
provide access to those information a handler needs? In our case, one could
give access to the {{AccessExecutionGraph}} for those handlers which extract
information from the {{ExecutionGraph}} and maybe something like a
{{FailureHistory}} for the {{JobExceptionsHandler}}? In the end the
{{ArchivedExecutionGraph}} might also implement {{FailureHistory}} but I think
the important bit is to segregate the interfaces.
Thinking a step ahead, how would it work with the {{ArchivedExecutionGraph}} if
we send multiple graphs because it changed over the job's lifetime. To which
graph will the exception causing the lifetime end of a graph be assigned?

> Key: FLINK-6042
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6042
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Coordination, Runtime / Web Frontend
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Matthias
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> Users requested that it would be nice to see the last {{n}} exceptions
> causing a job restart in the Web UI. This will help to more easily debug and
> operate a job.
> We could store the root causes for failures similar to how prior executions
> are stored in the {{ExecutionVertex}} using the {{EvictingBoundedList}} and
> then serve this information via the Web UI.
> _-- Update: January 21, 2021 --_
> The UI can already handle multiple exceptions through the Exception History.
> Right now, we list one or more exceptions which caused the job to fail.
> Instead, we could adapt it in a way that the history contains not only the
> exceptions of the most recent failure but one expandable entry per restart.
> If there are more than one exception connected to a single restart, we would
> list their stacktraces within one expandable entry.
