Greg Hogan created FLINK-2834: --------------------------------- Summary: Global round-robin for temporary directories Key: FLINK-2834 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2834 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Distributed Runtime Affects Versions: 0.10 Reporter: Greg Hogan Assignee: Greg Hogan Priority: Minor
Currently each {{FileIOChannel}} performs a local round-robin among temporary directories. Initially every writer will be concurrently spilling to the same first directory, then the same second directory, etc. Even when evenly dispersed this effect will naturally occur due to the bunching effect. One solution is to use a global counter when selecting the temporary path. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
