Ufuk Celebi closed FLINK-4131. ------------------------------ Resolution: Duplicate > Confusing error for out dated RequestPartitionState > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4131 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4131 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ufuk Celebi > Assignee: Ufuk Celebi > > When a consumer requests a partition state for an old job or execution > attempt (e.g. failed job or attempt), the JobManager answers with a {{null}} > state, which fails the requesting task with the following cause: > {{IllegalStateException("Received unexpected partition state null for > partition request. This is a bug.")}}. > This is confusing to the user as one might think that this is the root > failure cause. > I propose to either ignore the null state at the Task or not respond on the > JobManager side if the job or execution attempt has been cleared (see > {{RequestPartitionState}} in {{JobManager.scala}}). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
