Basically, under `StreamTask` it's a no-op operation going through `StreamTaskActionExecutor.IMMEDIATE`, while `SourceStreamTask` is using `StreamTaskActionExecutor#SynchronizedStreamTaskActionExecutor`, which acquires checkpoint lock for all operations. None of these implementations use mailbox for any task. However, the `Mailbox` internally uses the `StreamTaskActionExecutor`. I agree that the naming and the tight integration into the `MailboxExecutor` makes it hard to understand at first. Luckily, we can get rid of it, once FLIP-27 is fully implemented and we can get rid of legacy source thread (so in about 3 years? ;)). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
