-------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
> Flink seems to deadlock due to buffer starvation when iterating
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-8717
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8717
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Streaming
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Environment: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
> Core i7-6820HQ @ 2.7 GHz
> 16GB RAM
> Flink 1.4
> Scala client
> Scala 2.11.7

> We are encountering what looks like a deadlock of Flink in one of our jobs
> with an "iterate" in it.
> I've reduced the job use case to the example in this gist :
> [https://gist.github.com/rrevol/06ddfecd5f5ac7cbc67785b5d3a84dd4]
> Nothe that :
> * varying the parallelism affects the rapidity of occurence of the deadlock,
> but it always occur
> * varying MAX_LOOP_NB does affect the deadlock : the higher it is, the
> faster we encounter the deadlock. If MAX_LOOP_NB == 1, no deadlock. It
> consequently leads to think that it happens when the number of iterations
> reaches some threshold.
> From the [^threadDump.txt], it looks like some starvation over buffer
> allocation, maybe backpressure has flaws on iterate, but I may be mistaking
> since I don't know well Flink internals.
