[jira] [Commented] (YUNIKORN-169) panic when removing allocation ask with inflight allocation

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YUNIKORN-169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17111601#comment-17111601 ] 

Wilfred Spiegelenburg commented on YUNIKORN-169:
------------------------------------------------

The panic appears when the allocation ask is removed before we can confirm the allocation in the scheduler.
At that point the cache has been updated with the allocation and the scheduler is finalising the allocation in the scheduler.

The shim has been send and update with the fact that the allocation has happened. This is part of the cache update at the same time as we update the scheduler. Before the shim has processed that update it still sees the ask as outstanding. It then cancels the ask, reason unknown, and not relevant for the issue. The scheduler processes the ask cancellation in a separate go routine compared to the main scheduler processing. The confirmation and the cancellation are now racing.
If the cancellation wins the confirmations panics.
If the confirmation wins there is no issue and the shim has been given an allocation which it can cancel.

> There is a race that causes a nil pointer and thus panic when an allocation ask is removed while the allocation is in progress. The panic is captured in the attached log.
