Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5427 I think we may get around adding a new method. I checked with @tillrohrmann , here are the thoughts: - Submitting a job initially as a new reader group, no need to reset here - Recovering at any point calls the `restoreLatestCheckpointedState()` method - Also recovering from a JobManager failover basically "resubmits" the job with a special flag causing the JM to call the `restoreLatestCheckpointedState()` for the job.
