russell@unturf.com 1dee074618 kafka-0009: GraphGraceSearchUtil diamond recursion O(2^D) → O(N); count 621→622
findAndVerifyWindowGrace() recurses over parent GraphNodes without a visited
accumulator. Kafka Streams GraphNode is a genuine DAG (addChild wires
parent→child with multiple parents allowed), so a diamond topology causes
2^D recursive calls. Fix: thread an IdentityHashMap<GraphNode,Long> memo
through recursion; memoize on first visit, return cached result on revisit.
8/8 unit tests PASS; D=10 defect count=3071 vs patched O(N).

Diamond-recursion CLEAN markers added for: flink, neo4j, janusgraph,
tinkerpop, dgraph, zookeeper, storm, ant, gradle, graal, eclipse-jdt,
exposed, intellij, kotlin, scala3, hibernate-0007 (prior session work
now committed).

flink — diamond recursion CWE-407 scan: CLEAN

Scan date: 2026-03-29

Method scanned

StreamGraphGenerator.transform() — recursive transformation of the operator DAG.

Finding

StreamGraphGenerator maintains alreadyTransformed (IdentityHashMap<Transformation<?>, Collection<Integer>>) initialized at the start of every generate() call (line 260) and checked before every recursive descent (lines 464, 598). Any node that is reached a second time returns the cached ID set immediately.

StreamGraphHasherV2 likewise maintains a Set<Integer> visited (line 81) and marks nodes before descending.

No recursive path through the streaming job graph generator, hasher, or topology builder was found without an adequate visited/memoization guard.

Verdict: CLEAN
