Greg Hogan created FLINK-3385: --------------------------------- Summary: Fix outer join skipping unprobed partitions Key: FLINK-3385 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3385 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Distributed Runtime Reporter: Greg Hogan Priority: Critical Fix For: 1.0.0
{{MutableHashTable.nextRecord}} performs three steps for a build-side outer join: {code} public boolean nextRecord() throws IOException { if (buildSideOuterJoin) { return processProbeIter() || processUnmatchedBuildIter() || prepareNextPartition(); } else { return processProbeIter() || prepareNextPartition(); } } {code} {{MutableHashTable.processUnmatchedBuildIter}} eventually calls through to {{MutableHashTable.moveToNextBucket}} which is unable to process spilled partitions: {code} if (p.isInMemory()) { ... } else { return false; } {code} {{MutableHashTable.prepareNextPartition}} calls {{HashPartition.finalizeProbePhase}} which only spills the partition (to be read and processed in the next instantiation of {{MutableHashTable}}) if probe-side records were spilled. In an equi-join this is fine but with an outer join the unmatched build-side records must still be retained (though no further probing is necessary, so could this be short-circuited when loaded by the next {{MutableHashTable}}?). {code} if (isInMemory()) { ... } else if (this.probeSideRecordCounter == 0) { // partition is empty, no spilled buffers // return the memory buffer freeMemory.add(this.probeSideBuffer.getCurrentSegment()); // delete the spill files this.probeSideChannel.close(); this.buildSideChannel.deleteChannel(); this.probeSideChannel.deleteChannel(); return 0; } else { // flush the last probe side buffer and register this partition as pending this.probeSideBuffer.close(); this.probeSideChannel.close(); spilledPartitions.add(this); return 1; } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
