StefanRRichter opened a new pull request #6500: [FLINK-10066] Keep only archived version of previous executions URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6500 ## What is the purpose of the change Currently, the execution vertex stores a limited amount of previous executions in a bounded list. This happens primarily for archiving purposes and to remember previous locations and allocation ids. We remember the whole execution to eventually convert it into an archived execution. This seems unnecessary and dangerous as we have observed that this strategy is prone to memory leaks in the job manager. With a very high vertex count or parallelism, remembering complete executions can become very memory intensive. Instead I suggest to eagerly transform the executions into the archived version before adding them to the list, i.e. only the archived version is ever still referenced after the execution becomes obsolete. This gives better control over which information about the execution should really be kept in memory. ## Brief change log Convert `Execution` directly to `ArchivedExecution` before remembering it in the bounded list. I added the `AttemptID` to `ArchivedExecution` so that we can still support all previous requirements. ## Verifying this change This change is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (yes) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
