Yang Wang commented on FLINK-26370:
-----------------------------------
In the go implemented K8s operators, they usually have a {{workqueue}} and
multiple workers which continually read and process an event on the
{{{}workqueue{}}}. I am not sure whether we could also introduce such mechanism
in the java implemented K8s operators.
> Make Flink cluster communication asynchronous

> Key: FLINK-26370
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-26370
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Kubernetes Operator
> Reporter: Gyula Fora
> Assignee: Sandor Kelemen
> Priority: Major
>
> In the current architecture calls to the flink clusters (through the rest
> client) are made synchronously from the reconcile loop.
> These calls often take a long time due to various (compeltely normal) reasons:
> - Cluster is not ready -> long call + timeoutexception
> - Operation takes a long time -> cancel/savepoint operations are often
> expected to take seconds/minutes
> Both the observer and reconciler components make these calls.
> We should come up with a way to avoid making these sync calls from the main
> loop while still preserving the logic of the operator.
