Hi! That does not sound right, I agree. Can you tell us a bit more?
- What version of Flink are you using? - I assume the NIO loop is executed by a Netty thread. Can you tell us whether it is from a "io.netty.*" thread, or a "org.jboss.netty.*" thread? The former is from Flink's data network thread, the later from akka. - Is you job data heavy (data transfer is in progress most of the time), or is it compute heavy (network is not fully utilized) Thanks for your help!
