Apache Flink 1.12.1 Released
January 19, 2021 - Xintong SongThe Apache Flink community released the first bugfix version of the Apache Flink 1.12 series.
This release includes 79 fixes and minor improvements for Flink 1.12.0. The list below includes a detailed list of all fixes and improvements.
We highly recommend all users to upgrade to Flink 1.12.1.
This can happen if a new checkpoint is triggered before recovery is fully completed. For state to be corrupted a task with two or more input gates must receive a checkpoint barrier exactly at the same time this tasks finishes recovering spilled in-flight data. In such case this new checkpoint can succeed, with corrupted/missing in-flight data, which will result in various deserialisation/corrupted data stream errors when someone attempts to recover from such corrupted checkpoint.
Using unaligned checkpoints in Flink 1.12.1, a corruption may occur in the checkpoint following a declined checkpoint.
A late barrier of a canceled checkpoint may lead to buffers being not written into the successive checkpoint, such that recovery is not possible. This happens, when the next checkpoint barrier arrives at a given operator before all previous barriers arrived, which can only happen after cancellation in unaligned checkpoints.
