ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-6782: --------------------------------------- Github user NicoK commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4024 Personally, I would wait at least for another completed checkpoint before deleting a savepoint but from what I read, I would probably also always keep a savepoint around to recover from. I guess that depends on the availability needs and storage capacity that you have. Maybe @StefanRRichter or @StephanEwen can elaborate a bit more on best practices there and extend the docs accordingly. > Update savepoint documentation > ------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-6782 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6782 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Documentation, State Backends, Checkpointing > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Nico Kruber > Assignee: Nico Kruber > Fix For: 1.3.0 > > > Savepoint documentation is a bit outdated regarding full data being stored in > the savepoint path, not just a metadata file -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
