             Summary: Job is possible to hang when restarting a FINISHED task with POINTWISE BLOCKING consumers
                 Key: FLINK-21707
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21707
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Runtime / Coordination
    Affects Versions: 1.12.2, 1.11.3, 1.13.0
            Reporter: Zhu Zhu


Job is possible to hang when restarting a FINISHED task with POINTWISE BLOCKING consumers. This is because {{PipelinedRegionSchedulingStrategy#onExecutionStateChange()}} will try to schedule all the consumer tasks/regions of the finished *ExecutionJobVertex*, even though the regions are not the exact consumers of the finished *ExecutionVertex*. In this case, some of the regions can be in state other than CREATED because they are not connected to and affected by the restarted tasks. However, {{PipelinedRegionSchedulingStrategy#maybeScheduleRegion()}} does not allow to schedule a non-CREATED region and will throw an Exception and breaks the scheduling of all the other regions. One example to show this problem case can be found at [PipelinedRegionSchedulingITCase#testRecoverFromPartitionException |https://github.com/zhuzhurk/flink/commit/1eb036b6566c5cb4958d9957ba84dc78ce62a08c].

To fix the problem, we can add a filter in {{PipelinedRegionSchedulingStrategy#onExecutionStateChange()}} to only trigger the scheduling of regions in CREATED state.
