Feng Jin created FLINK-33936: -------------------------------- Summary: Mini-batch should output the result when the result is same as last if TTL is setted. Key: FLINK-33936 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-33936 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Table SQL / Runtime Affects Versions: 1.18.0 Reporter: Feng Jin
If mini-batch is enabled currently, and if the aggregated result is the same as the previous output, this time's aggregation result will not be sent downstream. The specific logic is as follows. This will cause downstream nodes to not receive updated data. If there is a TTL set for states at this time, the TTL of downstream will not be updated either. https://github.com/hackergin/flink/blob/a18c0cd3f0cdfd7e0acb53283f40cd2033a86472/flink-table/flink-table-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/table/runtime/operators/aggregate/MiniBatchGroupAggFunction.java#L224 {code:java} if (!equaliser.equals(prevAggValue, newAggValue)) { // new row is not same with prev row if (generateUpdateBefore) { // prepare UPDATE_BEFORE message for previous row resultRow .replace(currentKey, prevAggValue) .setRowKind(RowKind.UPDATE_BEFORE); out.collect(resultRow); } // prepare UPDATE_AFTER message for new row resultRow.replace(currentKey, newAggValue).setRowKind(RowKind.UPDATE_AFTER); out.collect(resultRow); } // new row is same with prev row, no need to output {code} When mini-batch is not enabled, even if the aggregation result of this time is the same as last time, new results will still be sent if TTL is set. https://github.com/hackergin/flink/blob/e9353319ad625baa5b2c20fa709ab5b23f83c0f4/flink-table/flink-table-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/table/runtime/operators/aggregate/GroupAggFunction.java#L170 {code:java} if (stateRetentionTime <= 0 && equaliser.equals(prevAggValue, newAggValue)) { // newRow is the same as before and state cleaning is not enabled. // We do not emit retraction and acc message. // If state cleaning is enabled, we have to emit messages to prevent too early // state eviction of downstream operators. return; } else { // retract previous result if (generateUpdateBefore) { // prepare UPDATE_BEFORE message for previous row resultRow .replace(currentKey, prevAggValue) .setRowKind(RowKind.UPDATE_BEFORE); out.collect(resultRow); } // prepare UPDATE_AFTER message for new row resultRow.replace(currentKey, newAggValue).setRowKind(RowKind.UPDATE_AFTER); } {code} Therefore, based on the consideration of TTL scenarios, I believe that when mini-batch aggregation is enabled, new results should also be issued when the aggregated result is the same as the previous one. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
