Scott Kidder commented on FLINK-4341:
-------------------------------------
I also noticed that when checkpointing is enabled and I'm using a parallelism
of 2 the processing speed is extremely slow compared to that of Flink 18995c8.
I disabled checkpointing altogether and the speed returned to previous levels.
I'm currently building Flink from source to pull in hotfixes added to the
release-1.1 branch since commit 45f7825. I'll update this issue with my
findings.

> Key: FLINK-4341
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4341
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Scott Kidder
>
> This issue was first encountered with Flink release 1.1.0 (commit 45f7825). I
> was previously using a 1.1.0 snapshot (commit 18995c8) which performed as
> expected. This issue was introduced somewhere between those commits.
> I've got a Flink application that uses the Kinesis Stream Consumer to read
> from a Kinesis stream with 2 shards. I've got 2 task managers with 2 slots
> each, providing a total of 4 slots. When running the application with a
> parallelism of 4, the Kinesis consumer uses 2 slots (one per Kinesis shard)
> and 4 slots for subsequent tasks that process the Kinesis stream data. I use
> an in-memory store for checkpoint data.
> Yesterday I upgraded to Flink 1.1.0 (45f7825) and noticed that checkpoint
> states were growing unbounded when running with a parallelism of 4,
> checkpoint interval of 10 seconds:
> {code}
> ID State Size
> 1 11.3 MB
> 2 20.9 MB
> 3 30.6 MB
> 4 41.4 MB
> 5 52.6 MB
> 6 62.5 MB
> 7 71.5 MB
> 8 83.3 MB
> 9 93.5 MB

> The first 4 checkpoints generally succeed, but then fail with an exception
> like the following:

> This can be fixed by simply submitting the job with a parallelism of 2. I
