########## File path: flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/runtime/partitioner/RebalancePartitioner.java ########## @@ -33,29 +33,18 @@ public class RebalancePartitioner<T> extends StreamPartitioner<T> { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; - private final int[] returnArray = {Integer.MAX_VALUE - 1}; + private final int[] returnArray = { -1 }; Review comment: `-1` is somehow better magic value, but it is still a magic value. This code would be cleaner if you had introduced `private boolean isInitialized = false;` variable and check against it instead of `returnArray[0] == -1`. It could also be a bit more efficient (more JIT/branch prediction friendly and could save some cached memory reads). However the proper fix would be to introduce some kind of `open(int numChannels)` (or `initialize(...)`) method. This is a reoccurring issue with our `ChannelSelector`s that they have broken/missing initialisation logic. What do you think about this? I would be in favour of the proper fix, but I won't object if you decide that it's out of the scope :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
