Antoine Philippot commented on FLINK-7883:
------------------------------------------
Hi [~aljoscha], is there any news about this subject, I will be interested to
participate on this feature
considering that we really need to not reprocess kafka messages for each job
restart and we cannot afford to
maintain our fork forever
> Stop fetching source before a cancel with savepoint
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-7883
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7883
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API, Kafka Connector, State Backends,
> Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 1.3.2
> Reporter: Antoine Philippot
>
> For a cancel with savepoint command, the JobManager trigger the cancel call
> once the savepoint is finished, but during the savepoint execution, kafka
> source continue to poll new messages which will not be part of the savepoint
> and will be replayed on the next application start.
> A solution could be to stop fetching the source stream task before triggering
> the savepoint.
> I suggest to add an interface {{StoppableFetchingSourceFunction}} with a
> method {{stopFetching}} that existant SourceFunction implementations could
> implement.
> We can add a {{stopFetchingSource}} property in
> {{CheckpointOptions}} class to pass the desired behaviour from
> {{JobManager.handleMessage(CancelJobWithSavepoint)}} to
> {{SourceStreamTask.triggerCheckpoint}}
