April 2025 performance summary for apache/inlong focusing on stabilizing the SortStandalone path and tightening resource management. Implemented per-task flow control using SortTaskStatus and SortTaskStatusRepository to monitor task-level metrics and dynamically pause/resume tasks based on failure rates, improving overall sorting stability and throughput. Delivered a resource-leak fix for SortTask close by ensuring proper release of resources (releasing GlobalBufferQueue tokens and polling BufferQueueChannel) to prevent memory buildup. These changes enhanced sorting reliability, reduced tail latency under load, and minimized long-running memory risk. Skills demonstrated include Java-based distributed task coordination, resource lifecycle management, and effective issue-driven development with clear commit references.

February 2025 Monthly Summary for apache/inlong: Delivered a key performance optimization by refactoring PulsarClient usage to share a single PulsarClient instance across all SortTasks within InlongTopicManager and InlongSingleTopicManager. Implemented a shared static map to manage client instances, eliminating redundant client creation and reducing resource pressure. This enables scalable multi-task processing and improves throughput under concurrent loads. The change aligns with ongoing performance and stability improvements and reduces operational risks associated with excessive PulsarClient instances.
