lincoln lee closed FLINK-18871.
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.16.0
Resolution: Fixed
The non-deterministic function exists in changelog pipeline can be validated if
it affect correctness since 1.16.0
> Non-deterministic function could break retract mechanism
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-18871
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18871
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Table SQL / Planner, Table SQL / Runtime
> Reporter: Benchao Li
> Priority: Not a Priority
> Labels: auto-deprioritized-major, auto-deprioritized-minor
> Fix For: 1.16.0
>
>
> For example, we have a following SQL:
> {code:sql}
> create view view1 as
> select
> max(a) as m1,
> max(b) as m2 -- b is a timestmap
> from T
> group by c, d;
> create view view2 as
> select * from view1
> where m2 > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
> insert into MySink
> select sum(m1) as m1
> from view2
> group by c;
> {code}
> view1 will produce retract messages, and the same message in view2 maybe
> produce different results. and the second agg will produce wrong result.
> For example,
> {noformat}
> view1:
> + (1, 2020-8-10 16:13:00)
> - (1, 2020-8-10 16:13:00)
> + (2, 2020-8-10 16:13:10)
> view2:
> + (1, 2020-8-10 16:13:00)
> - (1, 2020-8-10 16:13:00) // this record may be filtered out
> + (2, 2020-8-10 16:13:10)
> MySink:
> + (1, 2020-8-10 16:13:00)
> + (2, 2020-8-10 16:13:10) // will produce wrong result.
> {noformat}
> In general, the non-deterministic function may break the retract mechanism.
> All operators downstream which will rely on the retraction mechanism will
> produce wrong results, or throw exception, such as Agg / some Sink which need
> retract message / TopN / Window.
> (The example above is a simplified version of some production jobs in our
> scenario, just to explain the core problem)
