Hi Kong, Sorry that I'm not expert of Hadoop, but from the logs and Google, It seems more likely to be a problem of HDFS side [1] ? Like long-time GC in DataNode.
Also I have found a similar issue from the history mails [2], and the conclusion should be similar.

Sometimes, the the traffic gets high and from the prometheus metrics, it shows the writing is not stable. (getting from flink_taskmanager_job_task_operator_numRecordsOutPerSecond) The output data on HDFS is also getting delayed. (The records for a certain hour bucket are written to HDFS 50 minutes after that hour) I looked into the log, and find warning regarding the datanode ack, which might be related: DFSClient exception:2020-05-21 10:43:10,432 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient - Exception in createBlockOutputStream java.io.IOException: Got error, status message , ack with firstBadLink as <IP address here>:1004 at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.datatransfer.DataTransferProtoUtil.checkBlockOpStatus(DataTransferProtoUtil.java:140) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSOutputStream$DataStreamer.createBlockOutputStream(DFSOutputStream.java:1478) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSOutputStream$DataStreamer.nextBlockOutputStream(DFSOutputStream.java:1380) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSOutputStream$DataStreamer.run(DFSOutputStream.java:558) Slow ReadProcessor read fields warning:2020-05-21 10:42:30,509 WARN org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DFSClient - Slow ReadProcessor read fields took 30230ms (threshold=30000ms); ack: seqno: 126 reply: SUCCESS reply: SUCCESS reply: SUCCESS downstreamAckTimeNanos: 372753456 flag: 0 flag: 0 flag: 0, targets: [DatanodeInfoWithStorage[<IP address here>:1004,DS-833b175e-9848-453d-a222-abf5c05d643e,DISK], DatanodeInfoWithStorage[<IP address here>:1004,DS-f998208a-df7b-4c63-9dde-26453ba69559,DISK], DatanodeInfoWithStorage[<IP address here>:1004,DS-4baa6ba6-3951-46f7-a843-62a13e3a62f7,DISK]] We haven't done any tuning for the Flink job regarding writing to HDFS. Is there any config or optimization we can try to avoid delay and these warnings? Thanks in advance!! Best regards, Mu
