PROFILE
Rui Fan
Worked on stabilizing Apache Flink’s checkpointing and recovery mechanisms during dynamic rescaling, focusing on backend development and distributed systems in Java. Addressed reliability issues by explicitly rebalance connected streams to prevent unsupported exchanges from disabling unaligned checkpoints, improving streaming pipeline stability and CI reliability. Enhanced the recovery path by replacing unsupported operation exceptions with empty arrays or identity mappings in state descriptors, ensuring smoother job recovery and reducing operational risk. Contributed to the apache/flink repository, expanding integration test coverage for partially empty hash exchanges. Demonstrated expertise in checkpointing, error handling, and integration testing within a large-scale Java codebase.

Aug 1, 2025In 2025-08, focus on stabilizing Flink's checkpointing amid mixed exchanges, delivering a targeted bug fix that enhances streaming reliability and CI stability. The change explicitly specifies rebalance operations for connected streams to prevent unsupported exchanges from disabling unaligned checkpoints, addressing timeout and reliability issues in the UnalignedCheckpointRescaleWithMixedExchangesITCase test. This work corresponds to FLINK-38267 and is implemented in commit 93cd9b6ba8f9ea0b323d3fc4e7bd39b85f27e6e8. Business impact: more reliable streaming pipelines, reduced operational risk during rescaling, and smoother release cycles.
