Thanks for the feedback, Gary.

Regarding the WordCount test:
- True. There is no test coverage increment compared to others.
However, I think each test case better not have multiple purposes so
that we could find out the root cause quickly. As discussed in
FLINK-15135[1], I prefer only including WordCount test as the first
step. If the time overhead of E2E tests become severe in the future, I
agree to remove it. WDYT?
- I think the main overhead comes from building the image. The
subsequent tests will run fast since they will not build it again.

Regarding the Rocks test, I think it is a typical scenario using
off-heap memory. The main purpose is to verify the memory usage and
memory configuration in Mesos mode. Two typical use cases are off-heap
and on-heap. Thus, I think the following two test cases are valuable
to be included:
- A streaming task using heap backend. It should explicitly set the
“taskmanager.memory.managed.size” to zero to check the potential
unexpected usage of off-heap memory.
- A streaming task using rocks backend. It covers the scenario using
off-heap memory.

Look forward to your kind feedback.
