Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-7930: -------------------------------------- Not sure what you mean with periodic job but you can cancel jobs with a savepoint and then resume another job from this savepoint. This should allow you to do something like periodic jobs whose lifecycle is managed by an external system. > Support periodic jobs with state that gets restored and persisted in a > savepoint > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-7930 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7930 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: DataStream API > Reporter: Flavio Pompermaier > Priority: Major > Labels: stateful, streaming > > As discussed in > http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/State-snapshotting-when-source-is-finite-td16398.html, > it could be useful to support the use case of periodic jobs with state that > gets restored and persisted in a savepoint (in order to avoid the need of an > external sink) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
