Shammon created FLINK-25338: ------------------------------- Summary: Improvement of connection from TM to JM in session cluster Key: FLINK-25338 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25338 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Runtime / Coordination Affects Versions: 1.14.2, 1.13.5, 1.12.7 Reporter: Shammon
When taskmanager receives slot request from resourcemanager for the specify job, it will connect to the jobmaster with given job address. Taskmanager register itself, monitor the heartbeat of job and update task's state by this connection. There's no need to create connections in one taskmanager for each job, and when the taskmanager is busy, it will increase the latency of job. One idea is that taskmanager manages the connection to `Dispatcher`, sends events such as heartbeat, state update to `Dispatcher`, and `Dispatcher` tell the local `JobMaster`. The main problem is that `Dispatcher` is an actor and can only be executed in one thread, it may be the performance bottleneck for deserialize event. The other idea it to create a netty service in `SessionClusterEntrypoint`, it can receive and deserialize events from taskmanagers in a threadpool, and send the event to the `Dispatcher` or `JobMaster`. Taskmanagers manager the connection to the netty service when it start. Thus a service can also receive the result of a job from taskmanager later. [~xtsong] What do you think?
