Review comment: True, deploy in case of blocking and it actually notifies JM which is not shuffle concern but wrapper's in Task. For pipelined it looks more like releasing by sending EndOfPartition, I will just change to `notify consumers that the producing is done` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
