Wenlong Lyu commented on FLINK-17012: ------------------------------------- [~chesnay] I think it is not a good choice to treat processing first record as the signal of finishing initialization: when there is a filter in a job which filters most of the records or there is no input for long time, we will make a wrong decision. IMO, it would be perfect if we can add a new stage(state) for task such as Initializing which can be easily visualized but it can hurt compatibility, a separate metric maybe a good compromise? > Expose stage of task initialization > ----------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-17012 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17012 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Metrics, Runtime / Task > Reporter: Wenlong Lyu > Priority: Major > > Currently a task switches to running before fully initialized, does not take > state initialization and operator initialization(#open ) in to account, which > may take long time to finish. As a result, there would be a weird phenomenon > that all tasks are running but throughput is 0. > I think it could be good if we can expose the initialization stage of tasks. > What to you think? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
