ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-9423: --------------------------------------- GitHub user StefanRRichter opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6062 [FLINK-9423][state] Implement efficient deletes for heap-based timer … …service. ## What is the purpose of the change This PR introduces `InternalTimerHeap`, as data structure of in-flight timers that are stored in memory. This structure is a combination of the previous `PriorityQueue` and `HashSet` that have previously been used by the `HeapInternalTimerService`, enhanced by a support for faster deletion of timers. ## Brief change log - Made `InternalTimer` and interface, `TimerHeapInternalTimer` is currently the only implementation. The interface is in place to hide management methods like `setTimerHeapIndex(...)` from code that deals with the net information of timers. - Introduced `InternalTimerHeap` structure and replaced PQ+set in `HeapInternalTimerService`. ## Verifying this change Added the test `InternalTimerHeapTest` for `InternalTimerHeap`. Everything else is covered by existing tests. ## 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): (yes) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (yes) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
