Till Rohrmann created FLINK-7655: ------------------------------------ Summary: Revisit default non-leader id for FencedRpcEndpoints Key: FLINK-7655 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7655 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Distributed Coordination Affects Versions: 1.4.0 Reporter: Till Rohrmann Assignee: Till Rohrmann Priority: Minor
Currently, when a {{FencedRpcEndpoint}} loses leadership, we set its leader id to a random value. This can be problematic, even though it's unlikely, because we might set it to a value which is used somewhere else (e.g. the currently valid leader id). I think it would be better to simply set the leader id to {{null}} in order to properly encode that the {{FencedRpcEndpoint}} is no longer a leader. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
