----------------------------------
Yes, I agree with your proposal. It does need enough evidence before adjusting
any existing process.
> Notify data available to network stack immediately after finishing
> BufferBuilder

> Key: FLINK-11035
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11035
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Network
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: zhijiang
> Assignee: zhijiang
> Priority: Minor
>
> The data availability notification for network relies on whether there are
> finished _BufferBuilder_ or flush triggered. If flush is not triggered and
> the first _BufferBuilder_ enqueues into the subpartition, although this
> _BufferBuilder_ is finished on _RecordWriter_ side, it has to rely on
> enqueuing the second _BufferBuilder_ to trigger notification available. It
> may bring some delays for transporting the finished _BufferBuilder_ in
> network, especially there has a blocking operation for requesting the second
> _BufferBuilder_ from pool.
> Supposing there is only one available buffer in LocalBufferPool in extreme
> scenarios, if the first _BufferBuilder_ is not transported and recycled, the
> requesting for second _BufferBuilder_ will be blocked all the time.
> I propose to add a _notifyBufferFinished_ method in _ResultPartitionWriter_
> interface, then _RecordWriter_ can notify via it after _BufferBuilder_
> finished_._
