> Implement CheckpointBarrierHandler not to spill data for exactly-once based
> on credit-based flow control
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-8547
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8547
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Network
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: zhijiang
> Assignee: zhijiang
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently in exactly-once mode, the {{BarrierBuffer}} would block inputs with
> barriers until all inputs have received the barrier for a given checkpoint.
> To avoid back-pressuring the input streams which may cause distributed
> deadlocks, the {{BarrierBuffer}} has to spill the data in disk files to
> recycle the buffers for blocked channels.
>
> Based on credit-based flow control, every channel has exclusive buffers, so
> it is no need to spill data for avoiding deadlock. Then we implement a new
> {{CheckpointBarrierHandler}} for only buffering the data for blocked channels
> for better performance.
>
> And this new {{CheckpointBarrierHandler}} can also be configured to use or
> not in order to rollback the original mode for unexpected risks.
