[jira] [Resolved] (BEAM-9161) Inconsistent view of current
ActiveBundle from main and bundle timer thread

> Key: BEAM-9161
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9161
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: runner-flink
> Reporter: Maximilian Michels
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.19.0
>
> Time Spent: 1h 20m
> 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.
