> The Table API makes the {{GlobalDataExchangeMode}} configurable via 
> {{table.exec.shuffle-mode}}.
> In Table API batch mode the StreamGraph is configured with 
> {{ALL_EDGES_BLOCKING}} and in DataStream API batch mode 
> {{FORWARD_EDGES_PIPELINED}}.
> I would vote for unifying the exchange mode of both APIs so that complex SQL 
> pipelines behave identical in {{StreamTableEnvironment}} and 
> {{TableEnvironment}}. Also the feedback a got so far would make 
> {{ALL_EDGES_BLOCKING}} a safer option to run pipelines successfully with 
> limited resources.

> The previous history was like this:
> - The default value is pipeline, and we find that many times due to 
> insufficient resources, the deployment will hang. And the typical use of 
> batch jobs is small resources running large parallelisms, because in batch 
> jobs, the granularity of failover is related to the amount of data processed 
> by a single task. The smaller the amount of data, the faster the fault 
> tolerance. So most of the scenarios are run with small resources and large 
> parallelisms, little by little slowly running.
> - Later, we switched the default value to blocking. We found that the better 
> blocking shuffle implementation would not slow down the running speed much. 
> We tested tpc-ds and it took almost the same time.

> I don't see a problem with changing the default value for DataStream batch

> In any case, we should make this configurable for DataStream API users and 
> make the specific Table API option obsolete.
> It would include the following steps:
> - Move {{GlobalDataExchangeMode}} from {{o.a.f.streaming.api.graph}} to 
> {{o.a.f.api.common}} (with reworked JavaDocs) as {{ExchangeMode}} (to have it 
> shorter) next to {{RuntimeMode}}
> - -Add {{StreamExecutionEnvironment.setExchangeMode()}} next to 
> {{setRuntimeMode}}-
> - Add option {{execution.exchange-mode}}
> - Add checks for invalid combinations to StreamGraphGenerator
> - Deprecate ExecutionMode ([avoid 
> confusion|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68335472/what-is-difference-in-runtimeexecutionmode-and-executionmode])
