---------------------------------
Summary: Failed streaming jobs should fall back to the most recent
checkpoint/savepoint
Key: FLINK-3397
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3397
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Streaming
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Gyula Fora
Priority: Minor
The current fallback behaviour in case of a streaming job failure is slightly
counterintuitive:
If a job fails it will fall back to the most recent checkpoint (if any) even if
there were more recent savepoint taken. This means that savepoints are not
regarded as checkpoints by the system only points from where a job can be
manually restarted.
I suggest to change this so that savepoints are also regarded as checkpoints in
case of a failure and they will also be used to automatically restore the
streaming job.
