ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-5985: --------------------------------------- Github user gyfora commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3523 Hm, doesnt seem to work for the first try. What I did is I updated the client with the new jar based on your backport branch. Redeployed the job with a savepoint (to get the new Flink version), took a savepoint and tried to redeploy with the changed topology. I still seem to get the same error. Is it possible that the previous checkpoints have an effect on this? In any case I will double check tomorrow morning and try to do the test again. > 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)
