             Summary: Avoid predetermination of ports for network services
                 Key: FLINK-2518
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2518
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Till Rohrmann
             Fix For: 0.10


Some of Flink's network services use the {{NetUtils.getAvailablePort()}} to 
predetermine an available port for a service which is later started. This can 
lead to a race condition where two services have predetermined the same 
available port and later fail to instantiate because for one of them the port 
is already in use. 

This is, for example, the case for the {{NettyConnectionManager}} which is 
started after the {{TaskManager}} has registered at the {{JobManager}}. It 
would be better if we first start the network services with a random port, e.g. 
the {{NettyConnectionManager}}, and then send the bound port to the client. 
This will avoid problems like that.
