> This is a follow-up ticket after FLINK-20097.
> With the current setup (UnalignedITCase):
>  - race conditions are not detected reliably (1 per tens of runs)
>  - require changing the configuration (low checkpoint timeout)
>  - adding a new job graph often reveals a new bug
> An additional issue with the current setup is that it's difficult to git 
> bisect (for long ranges). 
> Changes that might hide the bugs:
>  - having Preconditions in ChannelStatePersister (slow down processing)
>  - some Preconditions may mask errors by causing job restart
>  - timings in tests (UnalignedITCase)
>  Some options to consider
>  # chaos monkey tests including induced latency and/or CPU bursts - on 
> different workloads/configs
>  # side-by-side tests with randomized inputs/configs
> Extending Jepsen coverage further (validating output) does not seem promising 
> in the context of Flink because it's output isn't linearisable.
>   
> Some tools for (1) that could be used:
> 1. https://github.com/chaosblade-io/chaosblade (docs need translation)
> 2. https://github.com/Netflix/chaosmonkey - requires spinnaker (CD)
> 3. jvm agent: https://github.com/mrwilson/byte-monkey
> 4. https://vmware.github.io/mangle/ - supports java method latency; ui 
> oriented?; not actively maintained?
