ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-5480: --------------------------------------- Github user zentol commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3117 @ShashwatRastogi-Reflektion It's a bit odd that there are different ID's shown, I will have to look into that. It may be that one display accounts for the uid while the other one doesn't; in any case one of them should be the task ID. I should've asked earlier; which version of Flink are you using? If it is 1.2 or below, then I don't know at the moment what the problem could be. If it is 1.3 or above, the steps I mentioned have to be done for each operator, and not task. That said, I'm not sure if we actually expose the id of each operator anywhere in 1.3 in a nice way... You may have to resort to trial&error; if a state can't be assigned to an operator you should get an exception containing the ID of the state (unless you explicitly allow [non-restored state](https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/ops/state/savepoints.html#allowing-non-restored-state), which you can then use as the uid hash. If you are already on 1.4 you can figure them out with the metric system (for example with the JMXReporter). > User-provided hashes for operators > ---------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-5480 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5480 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: DataStream API > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Stefan Richter > Assignee: Stefan Richter > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.2.0, 1.3.0 > > > We could allow users to provided (alternative) hashes for operators in a > StreamGraph. This can make migration between Flink versions easier, in case > the automatically produced hashes between versions are incompatible. For > example, users could just copy the old hashes from the web ui to their job. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
