Rate limits are better suited in > this scenario: A job should only die, if it fails too often in a given time > frame. To better overcome transient errors, retry delays could be used, as > suggested in other issues. > Absolute numbers of retries can still make sense, if failing operators don't > make any progress at all. We can measure progress by OperatorState changes > and by observing output, as long as the operator in question is not a sink. > If operator state changes and/or operator produces output, we can assume it > makes progress. > As an example, let's say we configured a retry rate limit of 10 retries per > hour and a non-sink operator A. If the operator fails once every 10 minutes > and produces output between failures, it should not lead to job termination. > But if the operator fails 11 times in an hour or does not produce output > between 11 consecutive failures, job should be terminated. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
