Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-6319:
-----------------------------------------
I think [~StephanEwen] had some thought's on why we have it like that. I think
he said that a shutdown should never be blocked on anything and that's why we
don't wait. I might be completely wrong and misrepresenting what he said,
though.
> Add timeout when shutting SystemProcessingTimeService down
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-6319
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6319
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Local Runtime
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Minor
>
> A user noted that we simply call {{shutdownNow}} on the
> {{SystemProcessingTimeService's}} {{ScheduledThreadpoolExecutor}} when
> calling {{SystemProcessingTimeService.shutdownService}}. {{shutdowNow}} will
> halt all waiting tasks but it won't wait until the currently running tasks
> have been completed. This can lead to unwanted runtime behaviours such as
> wrong termination orders when shutting down tasks (as reported in FLINK-4973).
> I propose to add a small timeout to wait for currently running tasks to
> complete. Even though this problem cannot be completely solved since timer
> tasks might take longer than the specified timeout, a timeout for waiting for
> running tasks to complete will mitigate the problem.
> We can do this by calling {{timerServicer.awaitTermination(timeout,
> timeoutUnit);}} after the {{shutdowNow}} call.
