StefanRRichter commented on issue #7009: [FLINK-10712] Support to restore state when using RestartPipelinedRegionStrategy URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/7009#issuecomment-452649422 I have one more concern that might lead to bugs in a certain corner case. What will happen in your change if the task is using operator state, union state in particular. In `applyRepartitioner()`, line 363 you can see that all operator state is repartitioned if there is one union state. this can already be a problem with a union state, but even more if there is a union state and some partionable state - the partitioning for the partitionable state for those tasks that are restarted could differ to the partitioning used in the original run - some partitions could be dropped or assigned twice by this. I think that means we need to change the method to only redistribute the union states, and I wonder if even distributioing the union state only for the failed task even makes sense. I think we need a testcase for this scenario (operator with 1 union and 1 partionable operator state)and I think it might fail as described before when we check how the operator state was reassigned after some partial recovery. What do you think?
