Exclusive buffers can be used by only one particular channel. A channel can request additional floating buffers from a buffer pool shared across all channels belonging to the given input gate. The remaining floating buffers are optional and are acquired only if there are enough resources available. +Not all buffers in the buffer pool Target can be obtained eventually. A **Threshold** is introduced to divide the buffer pool Target into two parts. The part below the threshold is called required. The excess part buffers, if any, is optional. A task will fail if the required buffers cannot be obtained in runtime. A task will not fail due to not obtaining optional buffers, but may suffer a performance reduction. If not explicitly configured, the default value of the threshold is Integer.MAX_VALUE for streaming workloads, and 1000 for batch workloads. -In the initialization phase: -- Flink will try to acquire the configured amount of exclusive buffers for each channel -- all exclusive buffers must be fulfilled or the job will fail with an exception -- a single floating buffer has to be allocated for Flink to be able to make progress +It is not recommended to adjust the above threshold during normal use. Unless you are a Flink network expert and can clearly understand the impact of this threshold, you can adjust the above threshold through the option `taskmanager.network.memory.read-buffer.required-per-gate.max`. If this option is configured to a smaller value, it can avoid the "insufficient number of network buffers" exception as much as possible, but may suffer a performance reduction silently. If this option is configured as Integer.MAX_VALUE, the required buffer limit is disabled. When the feature is disabled, more read buffers may be required in runtime, which is good for performance but this may lead to more easily throwing insufficient network buffers exceptions.
