Stephan Ewen created FLINK-16247:
------------------------------------
Summary: Rename 'checkpoints.savepoint.' package and classes to
'checkpoint.metadata.'
Key: FLINK-16247
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16247
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
Reporter: Stephan Ewen
Assignee: Stephan Ewen
Fix For: 1.11.0
These classes are responsible for the persistence of checkpoint metadata.
Originally, savepoints where the only snapshots with persistent metadata, while
checkpoints had the metadata only in memory or in ZooKeeper (Java Serialized).
Nowadays, checkpoints and savepoints both persist metadata in the same way, and
hence the package is not actually related to savepoints any more.
Because of that, I suggest to rename the classes from "Savepoint*" to
"Metadata*" to better describe what they are really doing.
