Github user tillrohrmann commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6147#discussion_r195036853 --- Diff: flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/filecache/FileCache.java --- @@ -273,26 +269,8 @@ public Path call() throws IOException { final File file = blobService.getFile(jobID, blobKey); --- End diff -- Here is a slight inconsistency with respect to the file type. If the file under `blobKey` is a file, then it is left in the ownership of the `BlobService`. If it is a zipped directory, then we expand the file under `<tmp-dir>/tmp_<jobID>/` which is deleted 5 seconds after the last task holding a reference to it is released. This is not a deal breaker but we should at least update the java docs such that they state the difference.
