             Summary: Eager Scheduling should deploy all Tasks together
                 Key: FLINK-5747
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5747
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JobManager
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.3.0


Currently, eager scheduling immediately triggers the scheduling for all 
vertices and their subtasks in topological order. 

This has two problems:

  - This works only, as long as resource acquisition is "synchronous". With 
dynamic resource acquisition in FLIP-6, the resources are returned as Futures 
which may complete out of order. This results in out-of-order (not in 
topological order) scheduling of tasks which does not work for streaming.

  - Deploying some tasks that depend on other tasks before it is clear that the 
other tasks have resources as well leads to situations where many 
deploy/recovery cycles happen before enough resources are available to get the 
job running fully.

For eager scheduling, we should allocate all resources in one chunk and then 
deploy once we know that all are available.

As a follow-up, the same should be done per pipelined component in lazy batch 
scheduling as well. That way we get lazy scheduling across blocking boundaries, 
and bulk (gang) scheduling in pipelined subgroups.

This also does not apply for efforts of fine grained recovery, where individual 
tasks request replacement resources.
