> Assign session IDs to JobManager and TaskManager messages
> ---------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-2332
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2332
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: JobManager, TaskManager
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann

>
> In order to support true high availability {{TaskManager}} and {{JobManager}}
> have to be able to distinguish whether a message was sent from the leader or
> whether a message was sent from a former leader. Messages which come from a
> former leader have to be discarded in order to guarantee a consistent state.
> A way to do achieve this is to assign a leader session ID to a {{JobManager}}
> once he's elected as leader. This leader session ID is sent to the
> {{TaskManager}} upon registration at the {{JobManager}}. All subsequent
> messages should then be decorated with this leader session ID to mark them as
> valid. On the {{TaskManager}} side the received leader session ID as a
> response to the registration message, can then be used to validate incoming
> messages.
> The same holds true for registration messages which should have a
> registration session ID, too. That way, it is possible to distinguish invalid
> registration messages from valid ones. The registration session ID can be
> assigned once the TaskManager is notified about the new leader.
