Description

In current region failover process, most of the input result partition states are unknown. Even though the failure cause is a PartitionException, only one unhealthy partition can be identified.

The may lead to multiple unsuccessful failovers before all the unhealthy but needed partitions are identified and their producers are involved in the failover as well. (unsuccessful failover here means the recovered tasks get failed again soon due to some missing input partitions.)

Using JM side tracked partition states to help the region failover to identify unhealthy(missing) partitions earlier can help with this case.

The basic idea is to build RestartPipelinedRegionStrategy with a ResultPartitionAvailabilityChecker which can query the JM side tracked partition states.
