Github user zentol commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2135 attempt-id are assigned per task and not per operator, correct? if so, then duplicate operator names can still cause collisions. also, why not use the task_id instead of attempt_id? it's also unique but won't change over the execution of the job.
