[FLINK-9031] Fix DataSet Union operator translation bug. ## What is the purpose of the change - Fixes a bug reported in [FLINK-9031](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9031) - Union nodes had a partitioning strategy on the outgoing channel, that was (intentionally) not translated by the `JobGraphGenerator` because the `JobGraphGenerator` assumed that Union nodes would always have outgoing FORWARD strategies. - Not translating the partitioning resulted in an incorrect result because data was not correctly distributed. ## Brief change log - Add a check in `JobGraphGenerator` to fail if a union node with non-FORWARD outgoing strategy is found. - Add a pre-optimization plan traversal that fixes the strategy of union outputs to FORWARD. - Add a test based on a simplified version of the reported program. ## Verifying this change - Run the added test. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): **no** - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: **no** - The serializers: **no** - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): **no** - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: **no** - The S3 file system connector: **no** ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? **no** - If yes, how is the feature documented? **n/a** You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/fhueske/flink dataSetUnionBug Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5742.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #5742 ---- commit 3939f06bacaf1595844de56fe58651732b89592e Author: Fabian Hueske <fhueske@...> Date: 2018-03-21T19:54:05Z [FLINK-9031] Fix DataSet Union operator translation bug. - Adds a pass over the pre-optimized plan that fixes the output strategy of union nodes to FORWARD. ---- ---
