I don't agree that it is not interacting, because it is for example checking `inputChannel.isReleased()`, which you need to mock one test below. Now imagine that during some refactor/implementing new feature someone modifies handlers code, by adding some additional interaction/sanity check on `inputChannel`. With mocks it will lead with thousands of changes in all of the mocked unit tests. > Implement Netty receiver outgoing pipeline for credit-based > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-7416 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7416 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Network > Reporter: zhijiang > Assignee: zhijiang > Fix For: 1.4.0 > > > This is a part of work for credit-based network flow control. > The related works are : > * We define a new message called {{AddCredit}} to notify the incremental > credit during data shuffle. > * Whenever an {{InputChannel}}’s unannounced credit goes up from zero, the > channel is enqueued in the pipeline. > * Whenever the channel becomes writable, it takes the next {{InputChannel}} > and sends its unannounced credit. The credit is reset to zero after each sent. > * That way, messages are sent as often as the network has capacity and > contain as much credit as available for the channel at that point in time. > Otherwise, it would only add latency to the announcements and not increase > throughput. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
