             Summary: Checkpoint Coordinator does Checkpoint I/O in JobMaster 
Main Thread
                 Key: FLINK-15132
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15132
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.10.0


The {{PendingCheckpoint.completePendingCheckpoint()}} method is called 
synchronously from within the Scheduler / JobMaster Main Thread.

The method writes out the checkpoint metadata, which is a potentially blocking 
I/O method.
Because the target may block arbitrarily long (for example S3 when load 
throttling), this can bring down the entire cluster (blocking actor threads, 
heartbeat timeouts).
