[jira] [Updated] (FLINK-38954) Flink Benchmark Score Decreases After Upgrading JDK Versions of Flink Engine and User Program
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-38954?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
zhangxing updated FLINK-38954:
------------------------------
Description:
For historical compatibility reasons, I compiled Flink 1.18.1 using JDK 8. Now, I intend to upgrade the JDK version (to either 11 or 17) and want to test if the performance improves after the upgrade—this will help me determine whether the upgrade is meaningful. I chose to use the Flink Benchmark project for testing; however, after conducting the tests, I found that many metrics actually *decreased* following the JDK upgrade. I also checked the metrics in Flink Speed Center and noticed the same issue (as shown in the figure below).

Is this situation normal? Or is my testing approach correct?
