> Prevent potential metric-related ClassCastExceptions
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-8213
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8213
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metrics, Streaming
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
> Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.5.0
>
>
> There are a few places, in particular revolving around the
> {{StreamOperator}}, that may run into ClassCastExceptions.
> For example, in the {{DataSinkTask}} you can find this line:
> {{final Counter numRecordsIn = ((OperatorMetricGroup)
> ctx.getMetricGroup()).getIOMetricGroup().getNumRecordsInCounter();}}
> The cast here is necessary since the {{AbstractStreamOperator}} exposes the
> {{OperatorMetricGroup}} as a plain {{MetricGroup}} since it is an internal
> class. However there is obviously no guarantee that
> {{StreamOperator#getMetricGroup()}} returns an actual
> {{OperatorMetricGroup}}. In fact, a fall-back case in
> {{AbstractStreamOperator#setup}} causes exactly this assumption to be
> violated.
