> Avoid resource deadlocks for finite stream jobs when resources are limited

> Key: FLINK-10945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10945
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Distributed Coordination
> Affects Versions: 1.7.1
> Reporter: Zhu Zhu

> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available

> Currently *resource deadlocks* can happen to finite stream jobs(or batch
> jobs) when resources are limited. In 2 cases as below:
> # Task Y is a pipelined downstream task of task X. When X takes all
> resources(slots), Y cannot acquire slots to start, thus the back pressure
> will block X to finish
> # Task Y is a upstream task of task X. When X takes all resources(slots) and
> Y cannot start, X cannot finish as some of its inputs are not finished
>
> We can avoid case 1 by setting all edges to be BLOCKING to avoid pipeline
> back pressure. However, case 2 cannot be avoided as X(downstream task) will
> be launched when any of its input result is ready.
> To be detailed, say task X has BLOCKING upstream task Y and Z, X can be
> launched when Z finishes, though task Y is not launched yet. This pre-launch
> behaviour can be beneficial when there are plenty of resources, thus X can
> process data from Z earlier before Y finishes its data processing. However,
> resource deadlocks may happen when the resources are limited, e.g. in small
> sessions.
>
> I’d propose introducing a constraint named as *InputDependencyConstraint* to
> control the scheduling of vertices. It has 2 values:
> # *ANY*. The vertex can be scheduled when any of its inputs is consumable.
> # *ALL*. The vertex can be scheduled when all of its inputs are consumable.
>
> The design doc is here.
