Stephan Ewen created FLINK-4525: ----------------------------------- Summary: Drop the "eager split pre-assignment" code paths Key: FLINK-4525 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4525 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: JobManager Affects Versions: 1.1.2 Environment: Reporter: Stephan Ewen Assignee: Stephan Ewen Fix For: 1.2.0
There is currently an interface for input splits {{StrictlyLocalAssignment}} that is half-heartedly supported in the JobManager (it is, for example, not fault tolerant). I suggest to drop these special cases for the following reasons: - they do not fit the assumptions of all the rest of the system well (localize where possible, but never constrain) - they make the logic of implemented as part of dynamic resource acquisition hard - they are not fully implemented even today - I am not aware of anyone using this feature - It is complicated to maintain -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
