   Hi @lindong28 
   It's strange that `MultiInputStreamTask-D` constructed a `DataOutput-C`, and 
 `OneInputStreamTask-B` calls the `DataOutput-C::emitRecord` constructed for 
`MultiInputStreamTask-D`. I think it should be a bug if it happens.
   
   `DataOutput::emitRecord` semantics should be correct if each `StreamTask` 
calls the corresponding `DataOutput`. If the correct DataOutput is not 
guaranteed to be called, there will be many problems with the code.
   
   For example: `MultipleInputStreamTask`[1] and `OneInputStreamTask`[2] have 
corresponding `CheckpointBarrierHandler`, if `MultipleInputStreamTask` calls 
`CheckpointBarrierHandler` of `OneInputStreamTask`, there should be similar 
bugs.
   
   `CheckpointBarrierHandler` is similar. `MultipleInputStreamTask` and 
`OneInputStreamTask` create different `CheckpointBarrierHandlers`, and then 
call `checkpointBarrierHandler.processBarrier`. `StreamTask` does not need to 
care about the logic inside `checkpointBarrierHandler.processBarrier`. If there 
is a `return value`, the caller are only responsible for using the `return 
value`, and don't care about how the `return value` is generated. Similarly, 
there may be different return values depending on the StreamTask.
