Zili Chen commented on FLINK-10333:
-----------------------------------
Clarify a bit on backward compatibility concerns:
1. LeaderElectionService extends method {{getLeaderStore}} but custom HA
services doesn't use it. The leader store is pass to construct
{{JobGraphStore}} and so on. So that we have
{code:java}
default getLeaderStore() { return null; }
default getJobGraphStore(LeaderStore leaderStore) { return getJobGraphStore(); }
{code}
2. ZK content does be changed. But IIUR it isn't contained in backward
compatibility concerns(we never support sharing cluster among different version
FLINK process, related discussion see also FLINK-13573). Also ZK implementation
details don't affect custom HA services.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10333
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Runtime / Coordination
> Affects Versions: 1.5.3, 1.6.0, 1.7.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: screenshot-1.png

>
> While going over the ZooKeeper based stores
> ({{ZooKeeperSubmittedJobGraphStore}}, {{ZooKeeperMesosWorkerStore}},
> {{ZooKeeperCompletedCheckpointStore}}) and the underlying
> {{ZooKeeperStateHandleStore}} I noticed several inconsistencies which were
> introduced with past incremental changes.
> * Depending whether {{ZooKeeperStateHandleStore#getAllSortedByNameAndLock}}
> or {{ZooKeeperStateHandleStore#getAllAndLock}} is called, deserialization
> problems will either lead to removing the Znode or not
> * {{ZooKeeperStateHandleStore}} leaves inconsistent state in case of
> exceptions (e.g. {{#getAllAndLock}} won't release the acquired locks in case
> of a failure)
> * {{ZooKeeperStateHandleStore}} has too many responsibilities. It would be
> better to move {{RetrievableStateStorageHelper}} out of it for a better
> separation of concerns
> * {{ZooKeeperSubmittedJobGraphStore}} overwrites a stored {{JobGraph}} even
> if it is locked. This should not happen since it could leave another system
> in an inconsistent state (imagine a changed {{JobGraph}} which restores from
> an old checkpoint)
> * Redundant but also somewhat inconsistent put logic in the different stores
> * Shadowing of ZooKeeper specific exceptions in {{ZooKeeperStateHandleStore}}
> which were expected to be caught in {{ZooKeeperSubmittedJobGraphStore}}
> * Getting rid of the {{SubmittedJobGraphListener}} would be helpful
> These problems made me think how reliable these components actually work.
> Since these components are very important, I propose to refactor them.
