@rkhachatryan thanks for looking into it. There was no production code path I ran into that let me start this investigation. I ran into test issues after adding the invariant check to `TaskExecutionState`. That's where I started to check the code to see whether I could rely on the invariant to be true all the time. The only place where the `failureCause` is not set even though it's transitioning into `FAILED` state is [in the fall back case](https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/14798/commits/af0bf68b965c9adaab61f42a99ef3278d27aed32#diff-b84174e55cb1999d99ad60cdeded7be20ff4978472bfc785c5a77b6270f47b56R856). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
