Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-7167: ----------------------------------------- Thanks for pointing this out, [~phoenixjiangnan]. There is actually a (very outdated) PR that also tries to tackle this issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3522. I think the solution we will go for in the end is to get rid of this configuration parameter, this should make things easier. > Job can't set checkpoint meta directory to cover the system setting > state.checkpoints.dir > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-7167 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7167 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: State Backends, Checkpointing > Affects Versions: 1.3.1 > Reporter: yuqi > Assignee: Bowen Li > > If we want to recover a failed job use checkpoint, till now, as all job > checkpoint meta data are in the same directory and do not have specific > identification, we have to traverse all file in the directory to find the > data of this job. this is rather troublesome. so seting this configuration > in the job level is preferable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
