Maximilian Michels commented on FLINK-3753: ------------------------------------------- Thanks for reporting! It actually states in the class why the {{stop()}} method is used. I think we have to work around some issues with the Kafka fetcher. I would close this issue for now because we want to use {{stop()}} for the KillerWatchDog (scary name!). > KillerWatchDog should not use kill on toKill thread > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-3753 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3753 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ted Yu > Priority: Minor > > {code} > // this is harsh, but this watchdog is a last resort > if (toKill.isAlive()) { > toKill.stop(); > } > {code} > stop() is deprecated. > See: > https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/java/THI05-J.+Do+not+use+Thread.stop()+to+terminate+threads -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
