Flink Jira Bot updated FLINK-4399: ---------------------------------- Labels: auto-deprioritized-major flip-6 stale-minor (was: auto-deprioritized-major flip-6) I am the [Flink Jira Bot|https://github.com/apache/flink-jira-bot/] and I help the community manage its development.

Afterwards, please remove the label or in 7 days the issue will be deprioritized. > Add support for oversized messages > ---------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4399 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4399 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Runtime / Coordination > Environment: FLIP-6 feature branch > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Priority: Minor > Labels: auto-deprioritized-major, flip-6, stale-minor > > Currently, messages larger than the maximum Akka Framesize cause an error > when being transported. We should add a way to pass messages that are larger > than the Framesize, as may happen for: > - {{collect()}} calls that collect large data sets (via accumulators) > - Job submissions and operator deployments where the functions closures are > large (for example because it contains large pre-loaded data) > - Function restore in cases where restored state is larger than > checkpointed state (union state) > I suggest to use the {{BlobManager}} to transfer large payload. > - On the sender side, oversized messages are stored under a transient blob > (which is deleted after first retrieval, or after a certain number of minutes) > - The sender sends a "pointer to blob message" instead. > - The receiver grabs the message from the blob upon receiving the pointer > message > The RPC Service should be optionally initializable with a "large message > handler" which is internally the {{BlobManager}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
