Piotr Nowojski commented on FLINK-22643:
----------------------------------------
In that case let's maybe focus on finding the right default value for this
parameter. It would be great to have a sane default that doesn't create
performance problems and at the same time solves the problem you were
describing. Otherwise only very very few people will know about this
configuration option and how to use it.
What do you think should be the sane default value [~Thesharing]?
> Too many TCP connections among TaskManagers for large scale jobs

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Network
> Affects Versions: 1.13.0

> Labels: auto-deprioritized-major
> Fix For: 1.14.0

> For the large scale jobs, there will be too many TCP connections among
> TaskManagers. Let's take an example.
> For a streaming job with 20 JobVertices, each JobVertex has 500 parallelism.
> We divide the vertices into 5 slot sharing groups. Each TaskManager has 5
> slots. Thus there will be 400 taskmanagers in this job. Let's assume that job
> runs on a cluster with 20 machines.
> If all the job edges are all-to-all edges, there will be 19 * 20 * 399 * 2 =
> 303,240 TCP connections for each machine. If we run several jobs on this
> cluster, the TCP connections may exceed the maximum limit of linux, which is
> 1,048,576. This will stop the TaskManagers from creating new TCP connections
> and cause task failovers.
> As we run our production jobs on a K8S cluster, the job always failover due
> to exceptions related to network, such as {{Sending the partition request to
> 'null' failed}}, and etc.
> We think that we can decrease the number of connections by letting tasks
> reuse the same connection. We implemented a POC that makes all tasks on the
> same TaskManager reuse one TCP connection. For the example job we mentioned
> above, the number of connections will decrease from 303,240 to 15960. With
> the POC, the frequency of meeting exceptions related to network in our
> production jobs drops significantly.
> The POC is illustrated in:
