Aljoscha Krettek updated BEAM-1674:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Flink user state GC depends on order of timer firing (was: User
state GC depends on order of timer firing)
> Flink user state GC depends on order of timer firing
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-1674
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1674
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: runner-flink
> Affects Versions: 0.5.0
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
> Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.6.0
>
>
> The newly added {{ParDoTest.testEventTimeTimerMultipleKeys()}} fails because
> the {{DoFn}} sets a timer for {{window.maxTimestamp()}} which also happens to
> be the GC timer for the user state. The Flink Runner uses timers to schedule
> GC, the user-set timer and the GC timer have a different timer id, so they
> don't clash. However, if the GC timer is being processed before the user
> timer then the user doesn't have a chance to access the state anymore because
> it will already be cleared out by the time the user timer is being processed.
