----------------------------------

             Summary: UpdateTask message contains unused information
                 Key: FLINK-1810
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1810
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Distributed Runtime
    Affects Versions: master
            Reporter: Ufuk Celebi
            Priority: Minor


When deploying tasks to a task manager it not guaranteed that all results are already consumable. In such cases, the InputGate of the receiver creates "UnknownInputChannel" instances, which are updated during runtime to Local- or RemoteInputChannel instances.

The UpdateTask Akka message which triggers this update contains unused information (the producing task's execution attempt ID) to identify which channel to update. I found this confusing when looking over the code and actually thought that it was a bug (because the unused information was actually erroneous).
