Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/713#issuecomment-104702861 I haven't looked at the code yet, but I've used the code from this branch for some cluster experiments I did today and everything seems to work. So at least for my tests, the change didn't break anything. I didn't try to trigger transport failures, so I can not tell if the change is really improving the error handling, still I would vote to merge it to get some testing exposure.
