Cameron Lee updated SAMZA-2300:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Summary:

If an intermediate operator (e.g. partitionBy) corresponds to multiple 
partitions, and the intermediate system returns 
IncomingMessageEnvelope.END_OF_STREAM_OFFSET for end-of-stream messages, then 
those end-of-stream messages will not get properly propagated to the other 
partitions.

More context:

End-of-stream propagation currently works by aggregating all end-of-stream 
messages in a single partition and then broadcasting once that single partition 
gets the expected number of end-of-stream messages. This means a single 
partition needs to wait for multiple end-of-stream messages. However, in 
SystemConsumers, if an end-of-stream message is found, then it will mark the 
stream to no longer be polled for more messages. This means that the aggregate 
partition may not consume all end-of-stream messages, so it will not broadcast 
to the other partitions.

This issue was found while trying to migrate some tests to use in-memory 
system. The in-memory system explicitly sets the offset to 
IncomingMessageEnvelope.END_OF_STREAM_OFFSET. Existing tests which use 
in-memory system only have a single partition, so those work. The reason why we 
probably haven't seen this bug in real use cases is that the kafka system does 
not set the offset to be IncomingMessageEnvelope.END_OF_STREAM_OFFSET.

It is possible that this issue could have been avoided if 
IncomingMessageEnvelope did not have two different signals for an end-of-stream 
message (i.e. END_OF_STREAM_OFFSET for "offset" field and EndOfStreamMessage 
for "message" field).

Fix:

To fix this, we can change IncomingMessageEnvelope.isEndOfStream to check the 
message type. We also need to check if the EndOfStreamMessage taskName is 
non-null, which means that the end-of-stream message came from inside Samza, so 
we don't want to stop polling in those cases.

Also, we should hide the END_OF_STREAM_OFFSET since it should not be needed as 
an external API.
