    Details

    • Release Note:
      Hide
      Deprecated {{getCheckpointLock}} method of the {{org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask}} class.

      Users should use {{MailboxExecutor}} to run actions that require synchronization with the task's thread (e.g. collecting output produced by an external thread). {{MailboxExecutor#yield}} or {{MailboxExecutor#tryYield}} methods can be used for actions that should give control to other actions temporarily, if the current operator is blocked.

      {{MailboxExecutor}} can be accessed by using {{YieldingOperatorFactory}}. Example usage can be found in the {{AsyncWaitOperator}}.
