------------------------------------
Summary: Replace ActorGateways in NetworkEnvironment by interfaces
Key: FLINK-4455
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4455
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Network, TaskManager
Reporter: Till Rohrmann
The {{NetworkEnvironment}} communicates with the outside world ({{TaskManager}}
and {{JobManager}}) via {{ActorGateways}}. This bakes in the dependency on
actors.
In terms of modularization and an improved abstraction (especially wrt Flip-6)
I propose to replace the {{ActorGateways}} by interfaces which exposes the
required methods. The current implementation would then simply wrap the method
calls in messages and send them via the {{ActorGateway}} to the recipient.
In Flip-6 the {{JobMaster}} and the {{TaskExecutor}} could simply implement
these interfaces as part of their RPC contract.
