> In Flink 1.13 (and older versions), TaskManager failures stall the processing 
> for a significant amount of time, even though the system gets indications for 
> the failure almost immediately through network connection losses.
> This is due to a high (default) heartbeat timeout of 50 seconds [1] to 
> accommodate for GC pauses, transient network disruptions or generally slow 
> environments (otherwise, we would unregister a healthy TaskManager).
> Such a high timeout can lead to disruptions in the processing (no processing 
> for certain periods, high latencies, buildup of consumer lag etc.). In 
> Reactive Mode (FLINK-10407), the issue surfaces on scale-down events, where 
> the loss of a TaskManager is immediately visible in the logs, but the job is 
> stuck in "FAILING" for quite a while until the TaskManger is really 
> deregistered. (Note that this issue is not that critical in a autoscaling 
> setup, because Flink can control the scale-down events and trigger them 
> proactively)
> On the attached metrics dashboard, one can see that the job has significant 
> throughput drops / consumer lags during scale down (and also CPU usage spikes 
> on processing the queued events, leading to incorrect scale up events again).

> One idea to solve this problem is to:
> - Score TaskManagers based on certain signals (# exceptions reported, 
> exception types (connection losses, akka failures), failure frequencies,  
> ...) and blacklist them accordingly.
> - Introduce a best-effort TaskManager unregistration mechanism: When a 
> TaskManager receives a sigterm, it sends a final message to the JobManager 
> saying "goodbye", and the JobManager can immediately remove the TM from its 
> bookkeeping.
