I think we all agree on the use case for selective propagation. The question is about where to have the control - at the operator level or at the port level.
For this ability, we have the following options: 1. Operator disables the propagation on selected output ports. Other output ports propagate by default. 2. Operator disables propagation for the entire operator (by means of an attribute). Operator developer explicitly emits the received control tuples on selected output ports. If the decision is to completely block the propagation, then Option 2 is easier to use as just an attribute needs to be set, as opposed to Option 1 where user needs to set the annotation on each output port. However, if selective propagation is needed, Option 1 would just need the user to disable propagation on certain ports; rest are propagated by default, while Option 2 requires the user to explicitly emit the control tuples. ~ Bhupesh On Thu, Jan 5, 2017 at 3:46 AM, Thomas Weise <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, I think that for any of these cases the operator developer will turn > of implicit propagation for the operator and then write the code to route > or create control tuples as needed. > > Thomas > > On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 12:59 PM, Amol Kekre <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I agree that by default the propagation must be implicit, i.e. if the > > operator does nothing, the control tuple propagates.
