             Summary: Source busy time is inaccurate in many cases
                 Key: FLINK-32127
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-32127
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Autoscaler
            Reporter: Zhanghao Chen


We found that source busy time is inaccurate in many cases. The reason is that 
sources are usu. multi-threaded (Kafka and RocketMq for example), there is a 
fetcher thread fetching data from data source, and a consumer thread 
deserializes data with an blocking queue in between. A source is considered 
 # *idle* if the consumer is blocked by fetching data from the queue
 # *backpressured* if the consumer is blocked by writing data to downstream 
operators
 # *busy* otherwise

However, this means that if the bottleneck is on the fetcher side, the consumer 
will be often blocked by fetching data from the queue, the source idle time 
would be high, but in fact it is busy and consumes a lot of CPU. In some of our 
jobs, the source max busy time is only ~600 ms while it is actually reaching 
the limit.
