> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: API / DataStream, Build System / CI
> Reporter: Sergey Nuyanzin
> Assignee: Sergey Nuyanzin
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> When async retries are enabled and an element also has a timeout configured,
> the operator can lose that element's result. The element is then never
> emitted and never fails — it stays "in flight" forever, so the job (or a
> test) hangs
> indefinitely.
> When an element times out, the operator is supposed to emit the timeout's
> default result and stop. But that timeout result is passed through the retry
> code path, which begins with a guard meaning "a retry is already in progress
> for this
> element — ignore this completion." If a retry for the same element was just
> scheduled or is being processed at that moment, the timeout result hits that
> guard and is silently discarded. By then the timeout handler has already
> cancelled the
> element's retry timer, and the element was never marked as completed — so
> nothing remains that could ever complete it. The element is stuck permanently.

> - Before JDK 25 (11/17/21): CompletableFuture.runAsync(...) with no explicit
> executor, when the common pool has parallelism < 2 (e.g. a 2‑CPU box:
> parallelism 1), spawned a fresh thread per async task. So the two elements'
> blocking callbacks
> ran concurrently (~545ms)=> the timeout-vs-retry race almost never
> happened.
> - JDK 25: those async methods now run on the common pool itself. At
> parallelism 1 there's a single worker, so the callbacks serialize (~1065ms)
> => which is the timing that triggers the operator's dropped-completion race.
