Motivation
...
Why is it necessary to make SingleThreadFetcherManager PublicEvolving?
- Though the SingleThreadFetcherManager is annotated as Internal, it actually acts as some-degree public API, which is widely used in many connector projects:
...
...
...
- kafka, flink-connector-mongodb, flink-cdc-connectors and soon. In flink-connector-kafka, KafkaSourceFetcherManager even extends SingleThreadFetcherManager.
More over, even the constructor
...
of
SingleThreadMultiplexSourceReaderBase
...
(which is PublicEvolving) includes the params of
SingleThreadFetcherManager
...
and
FutureCompletingBlockingQueue
...
. That means that the
SingleThreadFetcherManager
...
and
FutureCompletingBlockingQueue
...
have already been exposed to users for a long time and are widely used.As shown in
FLINK-31324,FLINK-28853used to change the default constructor of SingleThreadFetcherManager.However, it influenced a lot. Finally, the former constructor was added back and marked asDeprecated.Code Block public SingleThreadMultiplexSourceReaderBase( FutureCompletingBlockingQueue<RecordsWithSplitIds<E>> elementsQueue, SingleThreadFetcherManager<E, SplitT> splitFetcherManager, RecordEmitter<E, T, SplitStateT> recordEmitter, Configuration config, SourceReaderContext context) { super(elementsQueue, splitFetcherManager, recordEmitter, config, context); }
...
The original design of SplitFetcherManager and its subclasses was to make them public to the Source developers. The
As shown in FLINK-31324, FLINK-28853 used to change the default constructor of SingleThreadFetcherManager.However, it influenced a lot. Finally, the former constructor was added back and marked asDeprecated。
Therefore, why not make SingleThreadFetcherManager PublicEvolving?
More contexts from the origin design:
...
- goal is to let us take care of the threading model, while the Source developers can just focus on the SplitReader implementation. Therefore, I think making SplitFetcherManater / SingleThreadFetcherManager public aligns with the original design. That is also why these classes are exposed in the constructor of SourceReaderBase.
2. For FutureCompletingBlockingQueue, as a hindsight, it might be better to not expose it to the Source developers. They are unlikely to use it anywhere other than just constructing it. The reason that FutureCompletingBlockingQueue is currently exposed in the SourceReaderBase constructor is because both the SplitFetcherManager and SourceReaderBase need it. One way to hide the FutureCompletingBlockingQueue from the public API is to make SplitFetcherManager the only owner class of the queue, and expose some of its methods via SplitFetcherManager. This way, the SourceReaderBase can invoke the methods via SplitFetcherManager. I believe this also makes . This will make the code slightly cleaner.
Public Interfaces
Change SingleThreadFetcherManager,
SplitFetcherManager,
SplitFetcher and SplitFetcherTask from Internal
to PublicEvolving
.
Proposed Changes
...
In summary, this flip has 2 goals:
- To expose the SplitFetcherManager / SingleThreadFetcheManager as Public, allowing connector developers to easily create their own threading models in the SourceReaderBase.
- To hide the element queue from the connector developers and make SplitFetcherManager the only owner class of the queue
Public Interfaces
SplitFetcherManager
- Change SplitFetcherManager from Internal to PublicEvolving.
- Deprecate the old constructor exposing the FutureCompletingBlockingQueue, and add new constructors as replacements which creates the FutureCompletingBlockingQueue instance internally.
- Add a new internal method SplitFetcherManager#getQueue() for SourceReaderBase usage.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan
The Connectors that utilize constructors (including param elementsQueue) of SingleThreadMultiplexSourceReaderBase, SourceReaderBase, and SingleThreadFetcherManager should be migrated to the new constructor that does not have elementsQueue parameter.
Test Plan
nothing else to do.
Rejected Alternatives
If SplitFetcherManager becomes PublicEvolving, that also means SplitFetcher needs to be PublicEvolving, because it is returned by the protected method SplitFetcherManager.createSplitFetcher()
However, SplitFetcher requires FutureCompletingBlockingQueue as a constructor parameter. SplitFetcher is a class rather than Interface. Therefore, I want to change SplitFetcher to a public Interface and moving its implementation details to an implement subclass .
Reject Reason
}
} |
Proposed Changes
- By exposing the SplitFetcherManager / SingleThreadFetcheManager, connector developers can easily create their own threading models in the SourceReaderBase, by implementing addSplits(), removeSplits() and
maybeShutdownFinishedFetchers() functions.
- Note that the SplitFetcher constructor is package private, so users can only create SplitFetchers via SplitFetcherManager.createSplitFetcher(). This ensures each SplitFetcher is always owned by the SplitFetcherManager.
- This FLIP essentially embedded the element queue (a FutureCompletingBlockingQueue) instance into the SplitFetcherManager. This hides the element queue from the connector developers and simplifies the SourceReaderBase to consist of only SplitFetcherManager and RecordEmitter as major components.
Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan
The Connectors that utilize constructors (including param elementsQueue) of SingleThreadMultiplexSourceReaderBase, SourceReaderBase, and SingleThreadFetcherManager should be migrated to the new constructor that does not have elementsQueue parameter.
Mark the impacted constructors as deprecated in 1.19, and remove them in release of 2.0.
Test Plan
nothing else to do.
Rejected Alternatives
change SplitFetcher to a public Interface
If SplitFetcherManager becomes PublicEvolving, that also means SplitFetcher needs to be PublicEvolving, because it is returned by the protected method SplitFetcherManager.createSplitFetcher()
However, SplitFetcher requires FutureCompletingBlockingQueue as a constructor parameter. SplitFetcher is a class rather than Interface. Therefore, I want to change SplitFetcher to a public Interface and moving its implementation details to an implement subclass .
Reject Reason
The constructor of the SplitFetcher is already package private. So it can only be accessed from the classes in the package org.apache.flink.connector.base.source.reader.fetcher. And apparently, user classes should not be in this package. Therefore, even if we mark the
SplitFetcher class as PublicEvolving, the constructor is not available to the users. Only the public and protected methods are considered public API
in this case. Private / package private methods and fields are still internal.
SplitFetcherManager expose poll / getAvailabilityFuture / notifyAvailable / noAvailableElement
- Change SplitFetcherManager from Internal to PublicEvolving.
- Deprecate the old constructor exposing the FutureCompletingBlockingQueue, and add new constructors as replacements which creates the FutureCompletingBlockingQueue instance internally.
- Add a new internal method SplitFetcherManager#getQueue() for SourceReaderBase usage.
|
Reject Reason
SplitFetcherManager exposes 4 more methods, poll / getAvailabilityFuture / notifyAvailable / noAvailableElement, which are tightly coupled with the implementation of the elementQueue. The naming of these methods look weird, like what does it mean to "poll from a SplitFetcherManager" / "notify a SplitFetcherManager available"? To clarify these methods we have to explain to developers that "well we hide a queue inside SplitFetcherMamager and the poll method is actually polling from the queue". I'm afraid these methods will implicitly expose the concept and the implementation of the queue to developers.
A cleaner solution would be having a new interface that extracts SplitFetcher creating and managing logic from the current SplitFetcherManager, but having too many concepts might make the entire Source API even harder to understand. To make a compromise, only expose constructors of SplitFetcherManager as public APIs, and adding a new internal method SplitFetcherManager#getQueue() for SourceReaderBase (well it's a bit hacky , more worthy than exposing methods like poll and notifyAvailable on SplitFetcherManager )The constructor of the SplitFetcher is already package private. So it can only be accessed from the classes in the package org.apache.flink.connector.base.source.reader.fetcher. And apparently, user classes should not be in this package. Therefore, even if we mark the
SplitFetcher class as PublicEvolving, the constructor is not available to the users. Only the public and protected methods are considered public API
in this case. Private / package private methods and fields are still internal.
