> Key: FLINK-26762
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-26762
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Checkpointing, Runtime / Network
> Affects Versions: 1.13.0, 1.14.0, 1.15.0
> Reporter: fanrui
> Assignee: fanrui
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.16.0
>
>
> In some past JIRAs of Unaligned Checkpoint, the community has added the
> recordWriter.isAvaliable() to reduce block for single record write. But for
> large record, flatmap or broadcast watermark, they may need more buffer.
> Can we add the overdraft buffer in BufferPool to reduce unaligned checkpoint
> being blocked?
> h2. Overdraft Buffer mechanism
> Add the configuration of
> 'taskmanager.network.memory.overdraft-buffers-per-gate=5'.
> When requestMemory is called and the bufferPool is insufficient, the
> bufferPool will allow the Task to overdraw up to 5 MemorySegments. And
> bufferPool will be unavailable until all overdrawn buffers are consumed by
> downstream tasks. Then the task will wait for bufferPool being available.
> From the above, we have the following benefits:
> * For scenarios that require multiple buffers, the Task releases the
> Checkpoint lock, so the Unaligned Checkpoint can be completed quickly.
> * We can control the memory usage to prevent memory leak.
> * It just needs a litter memory, and can improve the stability of the Task
> under back pressure.
> * Users can increase the overdraft-buffers to adapt the scenarios that
> require more buffers.

> Masters, please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks a lot.
