Flink Jira Bot updated FLINK-20886:
-----------------------------------
Labels: auto-deprioritized-major stale-minor usability (was:
auto-deprioritized-major usability)
I am the [Flink Jira Bot|https://github.com/apache/flink-jira-bot/] and I help
the community manage its development. I see this issues has been marked as
Minor but is unassigned and neither itself nor its Sub-Tasks have been updated
for 180 days. I have gone ahead and marked it "stale-minor". If this ticket is
still Minor, please either assign yourself or give an update. Afterwards,
please remove the label or in 7 days the issue will be deprioritized.
> Add the option to get a threaddump on checkpoint timeouts

> Key: FLINK-20886
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20886
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
> Reporter: Nico Kruber
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: auto-deprioritized-major, stale-minor, usability
>
> For debugging checkpoint timeouts, I was thinking about the following
> addition to Flink:
> When a checkpoint times out and the async thread is still running, create a
> thread dump [1] and either add this to the checkpoint stats, log it, or write
> it out.
> This may help identifying where the checkpoint is stuck (maybe a lock, could
> also be in a third party lib like the FS connectors,...). It would give us
> some insights into what the thread is currently doing.
> Limiting the scope of the threads would be nice but may not be possible in
> the general case since additional threads (spawned by the FS connector lib,
> or otherwise connected) may interact with the async thread(s) by e.g. going
> through the same locks. Maybe we can reduce the thread dumps to all async
> threads of the failed checkpoint + all thready that interact with it, e.g.
> via locks?
> I'm also not sure whether the ability to have thread dumps or not should be
> user-configurable (Could it contain sensitive information from other jobs if
> you run a session cluster? Is that even relevant since we don't give
> isolation guarantees anyway?). If it is configurable, it should be on by
> default.
