Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-17012:
------------------------------------------
I agree that a sentinel value will not work, it messes up aggregations and
alerts.
I feel like external systems should be able to handle this by considering all
tasks for a submitted job to be in an initializing state until they have
processed the first record.
> Expose stage of task initialization

> Key: FLINK-17012
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17012
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Metrics, Runtime / Task
> Reporter: Wenlong Lyu
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently a task switches to running before fully initialized, does not take
> state initialization and operator initialization(#open ) in to account, which
> may take long time to finish. As a result, there would be a weird phenomenon
> that all tasks are running but throughput is 0.
> I think it could be good if we can expose the initialization stage of tasks.
> What to you think?
