Robert Metzger commented on FLINK-2897: --------------------------------------- I think there was one open remark with your pull request, that's probably why it wasn't merged yet. > Use distinct initial indices for OutputEmitter round-robin > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2897 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2897 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Distributed Runtime > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Greg Hogan > Assignee: Greg Hogan > > Currently, when performing a round-robin partitioning each task will > sequentially partition starting with partition "1". This is fine in the usual > case where the number of partitioned objects greatly exceeds the number of > channels. However, in the case where the number of objects is relatively few > (each, perhaps, requiring a large computation or access to an external > system) it would be much better to begin partitioning at distinct indices > (the task index). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
