---------------------------------------
Sounds good [~zhuzh].
> Avoid scheduling deadlocks caused by cyclic input dependencies between regions

> Key: FLINK-17330
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17330
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Runtime / Coordination
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Reporter: Zhu Zhu
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.11.0
>
>
> Imagine a job like this:
> A -- (pipelined FORWARD) --> B -- (blocking ALL-to-ALL) --> D
> A -- (pipelined FORWARD) --> C -- (pipelined FORWARD) --> D
> parallelism=2 for all vertices.
> We will have 2 execution pipelined regions:
> R1 = {A1, B1, C1, D1}
> R2 = {A2, B2, C2, D2}
> R1 has a cross-region input edge (B2->D1).
> R2 has a cross-region input edge (B1->D2).
> Scheduling deadlock will happen since we schedule a region only when all its
> inputs are consumable (i.e. blocking partitions to be finished). This is
> because R1 can be scheduled only if R2 finishes, while R2 can be scheduled
> only if R1 finishes.
> To avoid this, one solution is to force a logical pipelined region with
> intra-region ALL-to-ALL blocking edges to form one only execution pipelined
> region, so that there would not be cyclic input dependency between regions.
> Besides that, we should also pay attention to avoid cyclic cross-region
> POINTWISE blocking edges.
