I am running into a problem with “org.apache.beam:beam-runners-flink-1.11:2.25.0” and “org.apache.beam:beam-runners-flink-1.10:2.25.0”. I am doing some local testing with the flink runners in embedded mode. The problem is that I cannot save data into local files using those artifact versions. However when I switched to “org.apache.beam:beam-runners-flink-1.10:2.24.0”, it worked fine and output files were saved successfully.

I am basically generating unbounded data in memory using GenerateSequence transform and saving it into local files. Here is the code that generates unlimited data in memory:

Pipeline.apply(GenerateSequence.from(0).withRate(1, new Duration(10)))

.apply(Window.into[java.lang.Long](FixedWindows.of(Duration.standardSeconds(1))))

I compared the logs and noticed that there is no write operation found in the logs with “beam-runners-flink-1.11:2.25.0” and “beam-runners-flink-1.10:2.25.0”. With the working version “beam-runners-flink-1.10:2.24.0”, I could find below logs that was obviously doing the write operation:
