Github user tillrohrmann commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2389 Thanks for your contribution @beyond1920 :-) I've reviewed the PR and I think it would be good if we split it up into several parts. The first part could be the heartbeat logic a.k.a. `HeartbeatManager`. Here we could try to implement a generic sending and receiving end. I think the implementation can almost be independent of the JM, RM and TE implementation (similar to `RetryingRegistration`). This will allow us to easily test this component. The next step would be the integration of this component into the RM, JM and TE. Concerning the slot request logic I think we should wait a little bit for the `SlotManager` implementation. It could be the case that the `SlotManager` will make the rpcs to the `TaskExecutor` and not the RM. But for the moment the interface is, afaik, not well enough specified to program against it. The failure notification should also be treated in a separate PR imo. The notification can have multiple origins (e.g. `HeartbeatManager` or the resource management framework) and should be designed in such a way. In general, I think the components should be more thoroughly tested with more fine-grained unit tests. Furthermore, I think it would be good if we could revise the code documentation a little bit.
