------------------------------------
I'm currently working on a fix for this bug. However, I could not assign it to
myself.
> File source continuous monitoring mode: S3 files sometimes missed
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-9940
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9940
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Streaming
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Environment: Flink 1.5, EMRFS
> Reporter: Huyen Levan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: EMRFS, Flink, S3
>
> When using StreamExecutionEnvironment.readFile() with
> FileProcessingMode.PROCESS_CONTINUOUSLY mode to monitor an S3 prefix, if
> there is a high amount of new/modified files at the same time, the directory
> monitoring process might miss some files. The number of missing files depends
> on the monitoring interval.
> Cause: Flink tracks which files it has read by remembering the modification
> time of the file that was added (or modified) last. So when there are
> multiple files having a same last-modified timestamp.
> Suggested solution (thanks to [[Fabian
> Hueske|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=25]|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=25]):
> a hybrid approach that keeps the names of all files that have a mod
> timestamp that is larger than the max mod time minus an offset.
