> Support fencing tokens to filter out outdated messages

>
> Key: FLINK-7078
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7078
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Distributed Coordination
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Till Rohrmann
> Labels: flip-6
>
> In order to guard against split brain situations, it is important that RPC
> calls are guarded with a fencing token. The sender attaches his fencing token
> to a RPC message which is then used on the receiver side to compare against
> the expected fencing token. An example is the leader session ID which we
> attach to all critical RPC messages.
> So far, in the Flip-6 code base we send fencing tokens explicitly. This is
> not only cumbersome but also error-prone because you have to do it for all
> RPCs. Therefore, it would be better if we could automatically compare fencing
> tokens for a given RPC from a given source. This should ideally happen on the
> level of the RPC server.
