Thanks Mason for starting this thread discussion, generally +1 for the
motivation and proposal .
I have some questions about the detail after read the FLIP.
1. The FLIP says "However, pendingRecords is currently only reported by the
SourceReader and doesn’t cover the case for sources that only the
SourceEnumerator can calculate those metrics e.g. bounded split implementations
like Iceberg." Could you explain more why we cannot calculate metrics in
SourceReader side?
2.minor: Looks like you mixed SplitEnumeratorMetricGroup and
SourceReaderMetricGroup in public interface part
@PublicEvolving
public interface SplitEnumeratorMetricGroup extends
OperatorCoordinatorMetricGroup {
// IIUC, these methods belongs to SourceReader?
Counter getNumRecordsInErrorsCounter();
void setPendingBytesGauge(Gauge<Long> pendingBytesGauge);
void setPendingRecordsGauge(Gauge<Long> pendingRecordsGauge);
/** new addition */
void setAssignedSplitsGauge(Gauge<Long> assignedSplitsGauge);
}
3. Could you explain the relation between your proposed PendingRecordsGauge in
SplitEnumerator and PendingRecordsGauge in SourceReader? e.g. Which kind of
connector developers needs to care/implements the two
metrics.
4. The discussion thread context show me that you want to introduce
setAssignedSplits method in sourceReader side, but the FLIP didn’t update yet
like the implementation part? And, the final status looks strange to me that we
calculate total assignedSplits in
splitEnumerator but calculate total unAssignedSplits in SourceReader side
following your design. The action ‘assign’ is happening in SplitEnumerator
sider and should be surely managed by splitEnumerator,
why a SourceReader never assigns any splits need to report its assigned splits?
Best,
Leonard
