Stefan Richter created FLINK-5337: ------------------------------------- Summary: Introduce backwards compatible state to task assignment Key: FLINK-5337 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5337 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Stefan Richter
Flink assigns state to tasks through either a) user defined uids or b) uids generated through hashing certain properties of the StreamingJobGraph. While method a) is backwards compatible, it can be tedious for the user. Method b) easily breaks w.r.t. backwards compatibility under any changes to graph generation, e.g. when removing chaining. We should think about a backwards compatible way assigning state to tasks, that hopefully works without explicit uid assignment by the user. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
