ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-7378: --------------------------------------- Github user zhijiangW commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4485 @NicoK , thank you for giving this discussion and comments! Actually I proposed the same way of using fixed-size `LocalBufferPool` for managing exclusive buffers for per `RemoteInputChannel` with stephan before implementation. I attached the dialogue below: ![dingtalk20170828140949](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12387855/29761347-767c7c84-8bfb-11e7-975b-706265766803.png) Maybe I did not catch stephan's meaning from the above dialogue and took the current way to implement. I also agree with the way you mentioned and the fixed-size buffer pool for `RemoteInputChannel` can be submitted in an separate PR. > Create a fix size (non rebalancing) buffer pool type for the floating buffers > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-7378 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7378 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Core > Reporter: zhijiang > Assignee: zhijiang > Fix For: 1.4.0 > > > Currently the number of network buffers in {{LocalBufferPool}} for > {{SingleInputGate}} is limited by {{a * <number of channels> + b}}, where a > is the number of exclusive buffers for each channel and b is the number of > floating buffers shared by all channels. > Considering the credit-based flow control feature, we want to create a fix > size buffer pool used to manage the floating buffers for {{SingleInputGate}}. > And the exclusive buffers are assigned to {{InputChannel}}s directly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
