ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-4702: --------------------------------------- Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2559 Thanks @tzulitai for looking at this. I will leave the offset then as it is (fixed via followup) and The Kafka 0.8 connector needs a similar change. This here is encountered by a user, so I wanted to get the 0.9 fix in faster. Will do a follow-up for Kafka 0.8. Will also correct the issue tag ;-) I have no good idea how to test this, though, so any thoughts there are welcome! > Kafka consumer must commit offsets asynchronously > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4702 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4702 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Kafka Connector > Affects Versions: 1.1.2 > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Assignee: Stephan Ewen > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.2.0, 1.1.3 > > > The offset commit calls to Kafka may occasionally take very long. > In that case, the {{notifyCheckpointComplete()}} method blocks for long and > the KafkaConsumer cannot make progress and cannot perform checkpoints. > Kafka 0.9+ have methods to commit asynchronously. > We should use those and make sure no more than one commit is concurrently in > progress, to that commit requests do not pile up. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
