The {{onPartitionStateUpdate}} method can throw an {{IOException}} > or {{InterruptedException}} which are not handled on the {{TaskManager}} > level. > Another problem is that the initial partition state request is triggered > within the {{SingleInputGate}}. The request causes the {{JobManager}} to send > a {{PartitionState}} message to the {{TaskManager}} which forwards it to the > {{Task}}. If the at any of these points a message gets lost, then it is not > retried and the partition state remains unknown. > In order to handle the exceptions, to make the data flow clearer and to add > automatic retries, I propose to let the {{Task}} send the partition state > check requests. Furthermore, the {{JobManager}} should directly answer to the > {{Task}} by replying to an ask operation. That way the message does not have > to be routed through the {{TaskManager}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
