[jira] [Created] (FLINK-24465) Wrong javadoc and documentation for
buffer timeout
Dawid Wysakowicz created FLINK-24465:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Wrong javadoc and documentation for buffer timeout
Key: FLINK-24465
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24465
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Runtime / Configuration, Runtime / Network
Affects Versions: 1.13.2, 1.14.0
Reporter: Dawid Wysakowicz
Fix For: 1.13.3, 1.15.0, 1.14.1
The javadoc for {{setBufferTimeout}} and similarly the documentation for {{execution.buffer-timeout}} claims:
{code}
/**
* Sets the maximum time frequency (milliseconds) for the flushing of the output buffers. By
* default the output buffers flush frequently to provide low latency and to aid smooth
* developer experience. Setting the parameter can result in three logical modes:
*
* <ul>
* <li>A positive integer triggers flushing periodically by that integer
* <li>0 triggers flushing after every record thus minimizing latency
* <li>-1 triggers flushing only when the output buffer is full thus maximizing throughput
* </ul>
*
* @param timeoutMillis The maximum time between two output flushes.
*/
{code}
which is not true.
The {{-1}} value is illegal (it throws an exception). {{0}} behaves as {{-1}} in the above description, at least from what I gathered. There is no way to configure behaviour described above for {{0}}.
