>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: runner-flink
>            Reporter: Maximilian Michels
>            Assignee: Maximilian Michels
>            Priority: Major
>          Time Spent: 0.5h
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> In the DoFnOperator and the subclassed ExecutableStageDoFnOperator there are
> effectively two processing threads:
> (1) The main processing thread for processing elements and watermarks
> (2) A timer thread to support ending bundles after a timeout to optimize for
> latency
> Although the code was written with a different assumption in the past, the two
> threads do not interleave with each other. Only one is active at a time. This is
> ensured by Flink's "checkpointLock" which is acquired for every method called on
> the operator like processElement, processWatermark, snapshotState. It is also
> acquired when timers are fired which are set using Flink's TimeService, like it
> is the case for (2).
> We've seen issues with bundles being closed multiple times resulting in
> exceptions like "Already closed". Very rarely, we've also seen dead bundle ids
> resurrecting for which no other explanation could be found than an inconsistent
> view of the two thread.
