Gunnar Morling updated FLINK-30454:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
I noticed an interesting issue when trying to compile the flink-runtime module 
with Eclipse (same for VSCode): the _private_ inner class 
{{org.apache.flink.runtime.metrics.groups.TaskIOMetricGroup.SizeGauge}} has yet 
another _public_ inner class, {{{}SizeSupplier{}}}. The public method 
{{org.apache.flink.runtime.metrics.groups.TaskIOMetricGroup.registerMailboxSizeSupplier(SizeSupplier<Integer>)}}
 has a parameter of that type.

The invocation of this method in 
{{org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.StreamTask(Environment, 
TimerService, UncaughtExceptionHandler, StreamTaskActionExecutor, 
TaskMailbox)}} can be compiled with the javac compiler of the JDK, but fails to 
compile with ecj:
{code:java}
The type TaskIOMetricGroup.SizeGauge from the descriptor computed for the 
target context is not visible here.  
{code}
I tend to believe that the behavior of Eclipse's compiler is the correct one. 
After all, you couldn't explicitly reference the {{SizeSupplier}} type either.

One possible fix would be to promote {{SizeSupplier}} to the same level as 
{{{}SizeGauge{}}}. This would be source-compatible but not binary-compatible, 
though. I.e. code compiled against the earlier signature of 
{{registerMailboxSizeSupplier()}} would be broken with a 
{{{}NoSuchMethodError{}}}. Depending on whether 
{{registerMailboxSizeSupplier()}} are expected in client code or not, this may 
or may not be acceptable.

Another fix would be to make {{SizeGauge}} public. I think that's the change 
I'd do. Curious what other folks here think.
