Hi Lijie,

Thanks for the reminder! I missed this.
Considering the name occupation, how about naming it as
`execution.checkpointing.type`?

Actually I think the current `execution.checkpointing.mode` is confusing in
some ways, maybe `execution.checkpointing.data-consistency` is better.


Best,
Zakelly
