Github user StephanEwen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2047#issuecomment-222640704 I would do one change here: Make the `isRunning` flag non transient, and set it to true initially, rather than in open. That can act as a safeguard against very early stopping (before open is even completed), were stop would set the flag to false, and open would set it back to true. I think the runtime does prevent open to happen after stop, but cannot hurt to guard this in the source as well.
