Konstantin Knauf reopened FLINK-14103: -------------------------------------- Re-opening in accordance with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23206. > StreamTask refactoring: refine and improve exceptions passed to > failExternally call > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-14103 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14103 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Task > Reporter: Alex > Priority: Minor > Labels: auto-closed > > The documentation string for the {{AsynchronousException}} says: > {quote}An exception for wrapping exceptions that are thrown by an operator in > threads other than the > main compute thread of that operator. > {quote} > But the usage of the exception has diverged from the initial intent. In > particular, some actions that are run in the main task's thread (for example > via mailbox) may throw (or pass) instances of this exception. > Also, some exceptions that are already instances of this class may be wrapped > in this exception again. > It maybe needed to just adjust the documentation string of the exception, or > refine and improve the exceptions passed to the exception handling methods. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
