--------------------------------------
Thanks [~kevin.cyj] and [~pnowojski], I provide some test background
information, when we test TPC-DS with 10TB in batch mode and batch shuffle type:
It is very likely to bump into the deadlock situation. Try several times, and
it is still possible to bump into it. Maybe the upstream data scale is too
large, and it is very easy to fill all buffers (even if setting a large network
buffer).
> Potential deadlock for task reading from blocking ResultPartition.

> Key: FLINK-14872
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14872
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Yingjie Cao
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.10.0
>
>
> Currently, the buffer pool size of InputGate reading from blocking
> ResultPartition is unbounded which have a potential of using too many buffers
> and may lead to ResultPartition of the same task can not acquire enough core
> buffers and finally lead to deadlock.
> Considers the following case:
> Core buffers are reserved for InputGate and ResultPartition -> InputGate
> consumes lots of Buffer (not including the buffer reserved for
> ResultPartition) -> Other tasks acquire exclusive buffer for InputGate and
> trigger redistribute of Buffers (Buffers taken by previous InputGate can not
> be released) -> The first task of which InputGate uses lots of buffers begin
> to emit records but can not acquire enough core Buffers (Some operators may
> not emit records out immediately or there is just nothing to emit) ->
> Deadlock.
>
> I think we can fix this problem by limit the number of Buffers can be
> allocated by a InputGate which reads from blocking ResultPartition.
