Stefan Richter created FLINK-6776: ------------------------------------- Summary: Use skip instead of seek for small forward repositioning in DFS streams Key: FLINK-6776 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6776 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: State Backends, Checkpointing Reporter: Stefan Richter Assignee: Stefan Richter
Reading checkpoint meta data and finding key-groups in restores sometimes require to seek in input streams. Currently, we always use a seek, even for small position changes. As small true seeks are far more expensive than small reads/skips, we should just skip over small gaps instead of performing the seek. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
