ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-7378: --------------------------------------- Github user zhijiangW commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4485 @NicoK , Thank you for reviews! Considering the difference between `FixedBufferPool` and `LocalBufferPool`, I think you are right. I also think of this question when implement this new type. Maybe I misunderstood the stephan's meaning from google doc. I proposed the new `BufferPoolListener` for interaction easily between `RemoteInputChannel` and `BufferPool`, because `RemoteInputChannel` may request more floating buffers and wants to be notified more than once, and the boolean return can decide the behavior easily. And it can replace the current `EventListener` provided in `BufferProvider` interface. In order not to affect the current process, I did not replace that in this PR. I referred to the existing code format when implementation and found many cases keep the space after <p>. Thank you for letting me know the new rule. I may modify it next week based on your comments. > Implement the FixedBufferPool for floating buffers of SingleInputGate > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-7378 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7378 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Core > Reporter: zhijiang > Assignee: zhijiang > Fix For: 1.4.0 > > > Currently the number of network buffers in {{LocalBufferPool}} for > {{SingleInputGate}} is limited by {{a * <number of channels> + b}}, where a > is the number of exclusive buffers for each channel and b is the number of > floating buffers shared by all channels. > Considering the credit-based flow control feature, we want to implement a new > fixed size buffer pool type used to manage the floating buffers for > {{SingleInputGate}}. > Compared with {{LocalBufferPool}}, this is a non-rebalancing buffer pool > which will not participate in redistributing the left available buffers in > {{NetworkBufferPool}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
