ming li commented on FLINK-18808: --------------------------------- {quote}I would be afraid of this check adding too much computation overhead. Accessing both {{HashMap}} and {{ArrayList}} on the critical per record path is not desirable. {quote} Yes, you are right. I did not consider the computational overhead caused by this logic.:( {quote}My last idea would be to add this version of {{boolean collectAndCheckIfEmitted(...)}} to {{RecordWriterOutput}} and use it in {{BroadcastingOutputCollector}} and {{DirectedOutput}} as I proposed above. {quote} We can try to add a {{collectAndCheckIfEmitted}} method to {{RecordWriterOutput}}, but we still need to distinguish between {{RecordWriterOutput}} and {{ChainingOutput}} by grouping (but this time we directly use the array to store), and add a logic to judge whether it has been sent to avoid multiple statistics. {code:java} protected final Output<StreamRecord<T>>[] chainedOutputs; protected final RecordWriterOutput<StreamRecord<T>>[] nonChainedOutputs; {code} {{}}The {{collect}} method may be implemented like this: {code:java} @Override public void collect(StreamRecord<T> record) { boolean emitted = false; for (RecordWriterOutput<StreamRecord<T>> output : nonChainedOutputs) { emitted |= output.collectAndCheckIfEmitted(record); } if (emitted) { numRecordOut.inc(); } for (Output<StreamRecord<T>> output : chainedOutputs) { output.collect(record); } } @Override public <X> void collect(OutputTag<X> outputTag, StreamRecord<X> record) { boolean emitted = false; for (RecordWriterOutput<StreamRecord<T>> output : nonChainedOutputs) { emitted |= output.collectAndCheckIfEmitted(outputTag, record); } if (emitted) { numRecordOut.inc(); } for (Output<StreamRecord<T>> output : chainedOutputs) { output.collect(outputTag, record); } }{code} In the case of {{allOutputs.size() == 1}}, we can judge whether it is a {{RecordWriterOutput}} instance in {{AbstractStreamOperator#setup}}, and if so, we can directly call {{OperatorMetricGroup#reuseOutputMetricsForTask}} for statistics. > Task-level numRecordsOut metric may be underestimated > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-18808 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18808 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Metrics, Runtime / Task > Affects Versions: 1.11.1 > Reporter: ming li > Assignee: ming li > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available, usability > Attachments: image-2020-08-04-11-28-13-800.png, > image-2020-08-04-11-32-20-678.png, image-2020-08-13-18-36-13-282.png > > > At present, we only register task-level numRecordsOut metric by reusing > operator output record counter at the end of OperatorChain. > {code:java} > if (config.isChainEnd()) { > operatorMetricGroup.getIOMetricGroup().reuseOutputMetricsForTask(); > } > {code} > If we only send data out through the last operator of OperatorChain, there is > no problem with this statistics.
