-----------------------------------
Hi [~trohrmann], i agree with you that we should avoid accessing
{{TaskSlotTable}} in multiple threads. Removing the
{{TaskSubmissionTestEnvironment#getTaskSlotTable}} could work for that purpose.
nit: I guess maybe you want to cc [~dangdangdang] since he is the assignee of
FLINK-11593.

> Key: FLINK-15687
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15687
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Runtime / Coordination, Tests
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0
> Reporter: Kostas Kloudas
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: test-stability
> Fix For: 1.10.0, 1.11.0

> Working on [FLINK-14742|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14742]
> revealed that the problem with that test instability was the modification of
> the {{taskSlotTable}} of the {{TaskManager}} under test from multiple
> threads, namely the test thread and the main thread of the {{rpcEnpoint}}.
> This data-structure is not thread-safe and this should not happen.
> This anti-pattern seems to be repeated in multiple tests like most of the
> tests in the {{TaskExecutorSubmissionTest}} (look for the call to the
> {{TaskSlotTable.allocateSlot()}}). There we seem to call
> {{taskSlotTable.allocateSlot()}} and then \{{tmGateway.submitTask()}} which
> is essentially accessing the slot table from within the main rpc-endpoint
> thread.
> This JIRA is just to investigate if this is also a problem in those tests or
> not.
