########## File path: flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/api/graph/StreamEdge.java ########## @@ -136,6 +172,14 @@ public void setPartitioner(StreamPartitioner<?> partitioner) { this.outputPartitioner = partitioner; } + public void setBufferTimeout(long bufferTimeout) { + this.bufferTimeout = bufferTimeout; Review comment: Move `checkAndResetBufferTimeout` into `StreamEdge` seems not possible, because we can not only rely on internal `StreamEdge#outputPartitioner` to generate `ResultPartitionType` which also relies on `StreamGraph`, see `StreamingJobGraphGenerator#determineResultPartitionType`. Also it seems not good to pass the generate `ResultPartitionType` as argument into `StreamEdge#setBufferTimeout`. I also did not think through why we need to check the current value not `-1` before setting. If we want to prevent duplicated calling `#setBufferTimeout`, then we should check whether the current value was already different from the initial value (`0`) before setting. But I do not think it is necessary to limit the caller here. In general way, it is possible to only check the value validation of passed argument `bufferTimeout >= -1`. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
