--------------------------------------
+1 for actor messages
> Concurrency Bug in Yarn JobManager
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-3300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3300
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JobManager
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> The change to use the async ResourceManager client introduced concurrency
> problems: The ResourceManager callback threads run and change data structures
> at the same time as the actor methods, voiding the actor concurrency model.
> One example that can happen is that the callback tries to start containers
> while the ContainerLaunchContext is still not set (because the actor method
> is still in the StartYarnSession method).
> Bug introducing commit:
> https://github.com/apache/flink/commit/4e52fe4304566e5239996b3d48290e0c1f0772e8
> Quick fix could be to revert the commit. Better solution would be to let the
> callback methods send actor messages to the YobManager, rather than directly
> acting.
