Github user tzulitai commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5181 I'm not yet certain this fix is the root cause of the stalling tests mentioned in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8283. It's something I stumbled across while investigating the failing tests. Will run several local Travis runs over a period of time to see if the stalling tests still occur.
