Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-3688: ----------------------------------------- [~StephanEwen] you touched the StreamRecord serializer business last. Do you have an opinion on that? I would go forward with a PR for option 4. first and then think about the other change later. Since 4. already fixes the problem. > ClassCastException in StreamRecordSerializer when WindowOperator.trigger() is > called and TimeCharacteristic = ProcessingTime > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-3688 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3688 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Konstantin Knauf > Assignee: Konstantin Knauf > Priority: Critical > > Hi, > when using {{TimeCharacteristics.ProcessingTime}} a ClassCastException is > thrown in {{StreamRecordSerializer}} when > {{WindowOperator.processWatermark()}} is called from > {{WindowOperator.trigger()}}, i.e. whenever a ProcessingTimeTimer is > triggered. > The problem seems to be that {{processWatermark()}} is also called in > {{trigger()}}, when time characteristic is ProcessingTime, but in > {{RecordWriterOutput}} {{enableWatermarkMultiplexing}} is {{false}} and the > {{TypeSerializer}} is a {{StreamRecordSerializer}}, which ultimately leads to > the ClassCastException. Do you agree? > If this is indeed a bug, there several possible solutions. > # Only calling {{processWatermark()}} in {{trigger()}}, when > TimeCharacteristic is EventTime > # Not calling {{processWatermark()}} in {{trigger()}} at all, instead wait > for the next watermark to trigger the EventTimeTimers with a timestamp behind > the current watermark. This is, of course, a trade off. > # Using {{MultiplexingStreamRecordSerializer}} all the time, but I have no > idea what the side effect of this change would be.
