------------------------------------
Assignee: Till Rohrmann
> Replace ActorGateways in NetworkEnvironment by interfaces
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4455
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4455
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Network, TaskManager
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Till Rohrmann
>
> The {{NetworkEnvironment}} communicates with the outside world
> ({{TaskManager}} and {{JobManager}}) via {{ActorGateways}}. This bakes in the
> dependency on actors.
> In terms of modularization and an improved abstraction (especially wrt
> Flip-6) I propose to replace the {{ActorGateways}} by interfaces which
> exposes the required methods. The current implementation would then simply
> wrap the method calls in messages and send them via the {{ActorGateway}} to
> the recipient.
> In Flip-6 the {{JobMaster}} and the {{TaskExecutor}} could simply implement
> these interfaces as part of their RPC contract.
