zhijiang commented on FLINK-12852:
----------------------------------
It is hardly to say whether we could get performance benefits via overusing the
extra buffers beyond core size temporarily.
In general the tasks would be deployed into one TM by sequence in very short
internal time. If the first task occupies some buffers actually belong to other
following tasks, it would also bring some cost/overhead to recycle these extra
buffers afterwards. Especially this greedy mechanism might only have limited
benefits in special cases, such as backpressure. Overall it is hard to evaluate
the final benefits in different scenarios.

> This is due to the required and max of local buffer pool is not the same and
> there may be over-allocation, when assignExclusiveSegments there are no
> available memory.
>
> The detail of the scenarios is as follows: The parallelism of both upstream
> vertex and downstream vertex are 1000 and 500 respectively. There are 200 TM
> and each TM has 10696 buffers( in total and has 10 slots. For a TM that runs
> 9 upstream tasks and 1 downstream task, the 9 upstream tasks start first with
> local buffer pool \{required = 500, max = 2 * 500 + 8 = 1008}, it produces
> data quickly and each occupy about 990 buffers. Then the DownStream task
> starts and try to assigning exclusive buffers for 1500 -9 = 1491
> InputChannels. It requires 2981 buffers but only 1786 left. Since not all
> downstream tasks can start, the job will be blocked finally and no buffer can
> be released, and the deadlock finally occurred.
>
> I think although increasing the network memory solves the problem, the
> deadlock may not be acceptable. Fined grained resource management
> Flink-12761 can solve this problem, but AFAIK in 1.9 it will not include the
> network memory into the ResourceProfile.
