Gyula Fora commented on FLINK-5985: ----------------------------------- Hi Ufuk, I did exactly this yesterday: First got an error like: Cannot map savepoint state for operator xxx to the new program, because the operator is not available in the new program. Then I added the debugging to see which actual operator was misbehaving. It showed a stateless map, so I was like whatever and set the uidHash(xxx) and I tried again. Now it gave the same error for a different stateless operator (lets say a filter). I kept adding the hashes for the stateless operators until I reached to the point where it complained about not being able to map back the Iteration sink, that's when I gave up. > Flink treats every task as stateful (making topology changes impossible) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-5985 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5985 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: State Backends, Checkpointing > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Gyula Fora > Priority: Critical > > It seems that Flink treats every Task as stateful so changing the topology > is not possible without setting uid on every single operator. > If the topology has an iteration this is virtually impossible (or at least > gets super hacky) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
