########## File path: flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/runtime/io/StreamTwoInputProcessor.java ########## @@ -23,16 +23,12 @@ import org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.channel.ChannelStateWriter; Review comment: Ok, I see, and I agree that your change would increase usability of this code, protecting against those kind of bugs. However as you proposed it would currently add an extra `volatile` check. I think this could be addressed, by combining this check with anti-starvation check. However on the other hand... It looks like I have implemented it differently in the `StreamMultipleInputProcessor`, where I do not see such check at all, and the processor completely relies on the `InputStatus`, which all in all I think is easier way of handling this. `isAvailable()` is checked only after the first `processInput` call after being woken up: ``` private int selectNextReadingInputIndex() { if (!inputSelectionHandler.isAnyInputAvailable()) { fullCheckAndSetAvailable(); } ... } ``` Regarding the documentation. `AvailabilityProvider` already has quite a bit of java docs, but maybe you could help updating it to avoid such confusion in the future? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
