             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
    Affects Versions: 1.12.0
            Reporter: Ceyhan Kasap


Hi

I am trying to upgrade from 1.5.5 to 1.12 and checkpointing mechanism seems to be broken in our kafka connector sourced datastream jobs.

Since there is a siginificant version gap and there are many backwards uncompatible / deprecated changes in flink runtime between versions, I had to modify our jobs and noticed that checkpoint offsets are not committed to kafka for source connectors.

To simplfiy the issues I created simple repoducer projects:

[https://github.com/simpleusr/flink_problem_1.5.5]

[https://github.com/simpleusr/flink_problem_1.12.0]

It seems that there are majr changes in the checkpoint infrastructure.

For 1.5.5 checkpoint cycles works as expected as can be seen from the logs (please note that sample project contains a small hack in org.apache.flink.runtime.minicluster.MiniCluster which prevents cluster from stopping) :

*[2021-02-03 10:04:17,409] INFO Completed checkpoint 2 for job 08eb15132225903b77ee44f5ca6ad2a5 (43764 bytes in 11 ms). (org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator:873)*

*[2021-02-03 10:04:17,409] INFO Completed checkpoint 2 for job 08eb15132225903b77ee44f5ca6ad2a5 (43764 bytes in 11 ms). (org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator:873)*

....................

*[2021-02-03 10:04:27,401] INFO Completed checkpoint 4 for job 08eb15132225903b77ee44f5ca6ad2a5 (43764 bytes in 5 ms). (org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator:873)*

*[2021-02-03 10:04:27,401] INFO Completed checkpoint 4 for job 08eb15132225903b77ee44f5ca6ad2a5 (43764 bytes in 5 ms). (org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator:873)*

However for 1.12.0 checkpoint cycles stuck at initial checkpoint:

*[2021-02-03 10:06:24,504] INFO Triggering checkpoint 1 (type=CHECKPOINT) @ 1612339584496 for job ce255b141393a358db734db2d27ef0ea. (org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator:710)*

As far as I see, checkpoint cycle is stuck at waiting in org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator for coordinatorCheckpointsComplete although coordinatorsToCheckpoint is empty...

 

{{        final CompletableFuture<?> coordinatorCheckpointsComplete =
                pendingCheckpointCompletableFuture.thenComposeAsync(
                        (pendingCheckpoint) ->
                                OperatorCoordinatorCheckpoints
                                        .triggerAndAcknowledgeAllCoordinatorCheckpointsWithCompletion(
                                                coordinatorsToCheckpoint,
                                                pendingCheckpoint,
                                                timer),
                        timer);}}

Simply returning from OperatorCoordinatorCheckpoints.triggerAndAcknowledgeAllCoordinatorCheckpointsWithCompletion when there is no coordinatorsToCheckpoint seems to resolve the problem:

I have submitted this pr for this.

Please help me if I am missing something or there is another solution without code change.

We need to perform the upgrade and modify our jobs as soon as possible (I hope other breaking changes do not happen) so any help will be appreciated..
