ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-7468: --------------------------------------- Github user zhijiangW commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4559 @NicoK, I have submitted two `[hotfix]` commits for the above issues. One is for `Nullable` annotation and tests of backlog statistics. And the other is for updating backlog in thread-safe. For updating backlog, I think it should be done in `PipelinedSubpartition` and `SpillableSubpartition` separately in order to under synchronized region, although it seems somewhat redundant. But I notice that the `isReleased()` method in `ResultSubpartition` is also implemented in this way. > Implement sender backlog logic for credit-based > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-7468 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7468 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Network > Reporter: zhijiang > Assignee: zhijiang > Fix For: 1.5.0 > > > This is a part of work for credit-based network flow control. > Receivers should know how many buffers are available on the sender side (the > backlog). The receivers use this information to decide how to distribute > floating buffers. > The {{ResultSubpartition}} maintains the backlog which only indicates the > number of buffers in this subpartition, not including the number of events. > The backlog is increased for adding buffer to this subpartition, and > decreased for polling buffer from it. > The backlog is attached in {{BufferResponse}} by sender as an absolute value > after the buffer being transferred. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
