Github user NicoK commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5802#discussion_r179451610 --- Diff: flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/io/network/api/writer/RecordWriter.java --- @@ -164,7 +164,7 @@ public BufferConsumer broadcastEvent(AbstractEvent event) throws IOException { if (flushAlways) { flushAll(); } - return eventBufferConsumer; --- End diff -- You don't need to close the `eventBufferConsumer` since the try-with-resources should already do that. Returning the closed value, however, is kind of strange and only needed in one test. Let's make the method return `void` as you suggested and adapt the test.
