Description
Background
In the current implementation, State changes of different operators in the same taskmanager may be written to the same changelog file, which effectively reduces the number of files and requests to DFS.
But on the other hand, the current implementation also reads the same changelog file multiple times on recovery. More specifically, the number of times the same changelog file is accessed is related to the number of ChangeSets contained in it. And since each read needs to skip the preceding bytes, this network traffic is also wasted.
The result is a lot of unnecessary request to DFS when there are multiple slots and keyed state in the same taskmanager.
Proposal
We can reduce multiple reads to the same changelog file in the same taskmanager during restore.
One possible approach is to read the changelog file all at once and cache it in memory or local file for a period of time when reading the changelog file.
I think this could be a subtask of v2 FLIP-158: Generalized incremental checkpoints .
