Enum Constant Detail

BLOCKING

public static final ResultPartitionType BLOCKING

PIPELINED

public static final ResultPartitionType PIPELINED

PIPELINED_BOUNDED

public static final ResultPartitionType PIPELINED_BOUNDED

Pipelined partitions with a bounded (local) buffer pool.

For streaming jobs, a fixed limit on the buffer pool size should help avoid that too much data is being buffered and checkpoint barriers are delayed. In contrast to limiting the overall network buffer pool size, this, however, still allows to be flexible with regards to the total number of partitions by selecting an appropriately big network buffer pool size.

For batch jobs, it will be best to keep this unlimited (PIPELINED) since there are no checkpoint barriers.

Method Detail

values

public static ResultPartitionType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ResultPartitionType c : ResultPartitionType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ResultPartitionType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

hasBackPressure

public boolean hasBackPressure()

isBlocking

public boolean isBlocking()

isPipelined

public boolean isPipelined()

isBounded

public boolean isBounded()

Whether this partition uses a limited number of (network) buffers or not.

Returns:

true if the number of buffers should be bound to some limit
