> BlobServerConnection throws misleading exception for empty files
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-9347
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9347
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Task
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
> Priority: Trivial
>
> When downloading a file from the blob server that has a file size of 0 the
> following exception occurs on the server:
> {code}
> java.io.EOFException: Received invalid result value. -1
> at
> org.apache.flink.runtime.blob.BlobServerConnection.get(BlobServerConnection.java:275)
> at
> org.apache.flink.runtime.blob.BlobServerConnection.run(BlobServerConnection.java:117)
> {code}
> The reason is that the client cannot differentiate between a download with no
> more available data and an empty file, causing it to exit early in
> {{BlobInputStream#read}} without writing back {{RETURN_OKAY}}.
> This isn't necessarily a _problem_ in that sense as the file is properly
> created on the client, but the exception is a tad misleading and may lead
> debugging efforts down the wrong track (as has happened to me...).
> We should either fail early for empty files, fix the behavior, or at the very
> least at some warning log messages.
