Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3709 @WangTaoTheTonic I think the big source of confusion is the following: The cache does not cache any status. It really duplicates the pointer to the life `ExecutionGraph` object (the `AccessExecutionGraph` and the `ExecutionGraph` are the same here, the names are an artifact of an earlier approach to create a History Server). The only case that is problematic is the case where there are multiple execution graphs, which happens upon leader change. Another way to fix this would have been to remove the graph from the cache whenever leader status is lost.
