Timers and Checkpoints

Alberto Mancini
Hello,
I think we are experiencing this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6291

In fact we have a long running job that is unable to complete a checkpoint and so we are unable to create a savepoint.

I do not really understand from 6291 how the timer service has been  removed in my job and mostly i do not find how i can let my job to create a savepoint. 
We are using flink 1.3.2. 

Thanks,
   Alberto.

Hi Alberto,

do you get exactly the same exception? Maybe you can share some logs
with us?

Timo

Hello Timo,
thanks for the response. 

We are still investigating in the production system but in test we get now this exception that seems  very much related to the issue 6291.

Re: Timers and Checkpoints

Alberto Mancini
Hello Timo,
we found that the problem was not related to a timer but to an hardware issue in the production system. 
On the other hand the NPE exception in HeapInternalTimerService in the testing system was due to 
the fact the savepoint was created by a different version of the application; definitely not our day. 

BTW, the application used to create the savepoint uses actually a processFunction 
(with timers) replacing a flatMap with the same uid so makes sense that the got the same result of FLINK-6291.


Thanks,
  A.

Re: Timers and Checkpoints

Andrea Spina
Hi everybody,
I think I'm in the same issue above described in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6291 . Flink1-6.4
I have had this savepoint with a timer service belonging to a process function. When I restore a new job w/o the former process function ti fails in the following way.
What is a valuable workaround for this?
