Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-7978:
---------------------------------------
Well, I think the {{SimplifiedKinesisClient}} should not crash. The crash just
means that the number of minutes between the two instants is too long for some
internal Joda reasons. I have now forgotten the details... at first I thought
Joda was wrong because there is clearly no overflow. But the issue is that the
minutes duration could _later_ be used to cause an overflow, so I think they
are being extra cautious.
The shortest answer is that I think this exception could be caught and return 0
or whatever is allowed as a default/unknown value. Or a longer answer is to not
use Minutes.between but get that value by direct math or other functions that
doesn't overflow (because actually it won't overflow). If you look at
Minutes.between code you can see how to do this using Joda's utility libraries.

> We spotted this issue on Dataflow runner. It's problematic as inability to
> get backlog bytes seems to result in constant recreation of KinesisReader.
> The issue happens if the backlog bytes are retrieved before watermark value
> is updated from initial default value. Easy way to reproduce it is to create
> a pipeline with Kinesis source for a stream where no records are being put.
> While debugging it locally, you can observe that the watermark is set to the
> value on the past (like: "-290308-12-21T19:59:05.225Z"). After two minutes
> (default watermark idle duration threshold is set to 2 minutes) , the
> watermark is set to value of
> [watermarkIdleThreshold|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/9fe0a0387ad1f894ef02acf32edbc9623a3b13ad/sdks/java/io/kinesis/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/kinesis/WatermarkPolicyFactory.java#L110]),
> so the next backlog bytes retrieval should be correct. However, as described
> before, running the pipeline on Dataflow runner results in KinesisReader
> being closed just after creation, so the watermark won't be fixed.
> The reason of the issue is following: The introduced watermark policies are
> relying on
> [WatermarkParameters|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/9fe0a0387ad1f894ef02acf32edbc9623a3b13ad/sdks/java/io/kinesis/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/kinesis/WatermarkParameters.java]
> which initialises currentWatermark and eventTime to
> [BoundedWindow.TIMESTAMP_MIN_VALUE|https://github.com/apache/beam/commit/9fe0a0387ad1f894ef02acf32edbc9623a3b13ad#diff-b4964a457006b1555c7042c739b405ecR52].
> This result in watermark being set to new Instant(-9223372036854775L) at the
> KinesisReader creation. Calculated [period between the watermark and the
> current
> timestamp|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/9fe0a0387ad1f894ef02acf32edbc9623a3b13ad/sdks/java/io/kinesis/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/kinesis/SimplifiedKinesisClient.java#L169]
> is bigger than expected causing the ArithmeticException to be thrown.
> The maximum retention on Kinesis streams is [7
> days|https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/data-streams/faqs/] so it should be safe
> to initialise the affected watermark parameters with new
> Instant().minus(MAX_KINESIS_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD) where
> MAX_KINESIS_STREAM_RETENTION_PERIOD is the duration of 7 days.
> Remark: seems that in the past there was similar issue present (fixed in
> 2.4). Please look into the
> [ticket|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3881].
> Best regards,
