-----------------------------------

             Summary: ThroughputCalculator throws 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Time should be non negative under very low 
throughput cluster
                 Key: FLINK-29845
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-29845
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Runtime / Network, Runtime / Task
    Affects Versions: 1.14.6
            Reporter: Jingxiao GU


Our team are using Flink@1.14 to process data from Kafka.

It works all fine unless the same job jar with same arguments deployed in an 
environment with{color:#FF0000} *very low kafka source throughput.*{color} The 
job crashed sometimes with the following Exception and could not be able to 
recover unless we restarted TaskManagers, which is unacceptable for a 
production environment.

{code}
After checking the source code roughly, we found if buffer debloating is 
disabled 
([https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/release-1.14.6/flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/runtime/tasks/StreamTask.java#L427]
 ), the buffer debloater will still be scheduled 
([https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/release-1.14.6/flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/runtime/tasks/StreamTask.java#L755]
 ) so that the {{ThrouputCalculator}}  keeps calculating the throughput 
([https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/release-1.14.6/flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/runtime/tasks/StreamTask.java#L789]
 ) which causes the division of zero and seems useless as i suppose.

Currently, we tried to workaround by setting 
{{taskmanager.network.memory.buffer-debloat.period: 365d}} to avoid the buffer 
debloater being scheduled frequently causing the random crash.

P.S. We found a bug with similar stacktrace 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25454 which was fixed in 1.14.6.
