Yes, this is a current shortcoming, because the blocking results can not be used within iterations (they can not be reset after each superstep). > Another question is that when running a batch job, if one task failed, > do i must restart the whole topology or are there any machnism to just > restart failed task? Thank you for any advise ! Currently, yes, the whole topology is restarted. There was an attempt to add support for more fine-grained fault tolerance, but it was never completed/merged. – Ufuk
