Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-7266:
-----------------------------------------
We actually have to fix this for 1.4 because we regress from 1.3, otherwise.
The operation that deletes parent directories is too expensive and will
basically DDOS s3, making Flink unusable for bigger installations with s3.
> Don't attempt to delete parent directory on S3

> Key: FLINK-7266
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7266
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Stephan Ewen
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.4.0, 1.3.2, 1.5.0
>
>
> Currently, every attempted release of an S3 state object also checks if the
> "parent directory" is empty and then tries to delete it.
> Not only is that unnecessary on S3, but it is prohibitively expensive and for
> example causes S3 to throttle calls by the JobManager on checkpoint cleanup.
> The {{FileState}} must only attempt parent directory cleanup when operating
> against real file systems, not when operating against object stores.
