Aljoscha Krettek closed FLINK-6413.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Closing in favour of a different solution (buffer-level processing)
> Add stream operator callback to notify about consumed network buffer

> Key: FLINK-6413

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek

> This is originally motivated by BEAM-1612. Beam has the notion of bundles and
> allows users to do work at the start/end of each bundle. This could be used
> for setting up some expensive connection or for batching accesses to some
> external system. There is also internal optimisation potential because
> accesses/updates to state could be kept in-memory per bundle/buffer and only
> afterwards be written to fault-tolerant state.
> The bundling induced by the Flink network stack (which depends on the network
> buffer size and the buffer timeout) seems like a natural fit for this. I
> propose to add an _experimental_ interface {{BufferConsumedListener}} (or
> some such name):
> {code}
> interface BufferConsumedListener {
> void notifyBufferConsumed():
> }
> {code}
> that is invoked in the input processor whenever a network buffer is
> exhausted:
> https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/922352ac35f3753334e834632e3e361fbd36336e/flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/runtime/io/StreamInputProcessor.java#L178-L178
> The change is very simple, three lines of code would be added:
> {code}
> if (result.isBufferConsumed()) {
> currentRecordDeserializer.getCurrentBuffer().recycle();
> currentRecordDeserializer = null;
> if (streamOperator instanceof BufferConsumedListener) {
> ((BufferConsumedListener) streamOperator).notifyBufferConsumed():
> }
> }
> {code}
