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

             Summary: Handle "Too old resource version" exception in Kubernetes watch more gracefully
                 Key: FLINK-20417
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20417
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Deployment / Kubernetes
            Reporter: Yang Wang


Currently, when the watcher(pods watcher, configmap watcher) is closed with exception, we will call {{WatchCallbackHandler#handleFatalError}}. And this could cause JobManager terminating and then failover.

For most cases, this is correct. But not for "too old resource version" exception. See more information here[1]. Usually this exception could happen when the APIServer is restarted. And we just need to create a new watch and continue to do the pods/configmap watching. This could help the Flink cluster reducing the impact of K8s cluster restarting.

 

The issue is inspired by this technical article[2]. Thanks the guys from tencent for the debugging. Note this is a Chinese documentation.
