Keshav Kansal created FLINK-35288: ------------------------------------- Summary: Flink Restart Strategy does not work as documented Key: FLINK-35288 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-35288 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Keshav Kansal
As per the documentation when using the Fixed Delay Restart Strategy, the restart-strategy.fixed-delay.attempts defines the "The number of times that Flink retries the execution before the job is declared as failed if has been set to fixed-delay". However in reality it is the *maximum-total-task-failures*, i.e. it is possbile that the job does not even attempt to restart. This is as per documented in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-1%3A+Fine+Grained+Recovery+from+Task+Failures If there is an outage at a Sink level, for example Elasticsearch outage, all the independent tasks might fail and the job will immediately fail without restart if restart-strategy.fixed-delay.attempts is set lower or equal to the parallelism of the sink. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
