Thomas Weise commented on FLINK-10074: -------------------------------------- I think configuring the behavior as a count of allowable consecutive failures would work well. Would this replace the existing setFailOnCheckpointingErrors (will that setting become irrelevant when the user already sets the count)? [https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/api/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/api/environment/CheckpointConfig.html] Regarding what happens once the job was allowed to fail and recovers only to fail again: Shouldn't the counter only be reset after the next successful checkpoint vs. on restart? > Allowable number of checkpoint failures > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-10074 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10074 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: State Backends, Checkpointing > Reporter: Thomas Weise > Assignee: vinoyang > Priority: Major > > For intermittent checkpoint failures it is desirable to have a mechanism to > avoid restarts. If, for example, a transient S3 error prevents checkpoint > completion, the next checkpoint may very well succeed. The user may wish to > not incur the expense of restart under such scenario and this could be > expressed with a failure threshold (number of subsequent checkpoint > failures), possibly combined with a list of exceptions to tolerate. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
