-Flink supports different restart strategies which control how the jobs are
restarted in case of a failure.
-The cluster can be started with a default restart strategy which is always
used when no job specific restart strategy has been defined.
-In case that the job is submitted with a restart strategy, this strategy
overrides the cluster's default setting.
+When a task failure happens, Flink needs to restart the failed task and other
affected tasks to recover the job to a normal state.
+
+Restart strategies and failover strategies are used to control the task
restarting.
+Restart strategies decide whether and when the failed/affected tasks can be
restarted.
+Failover strategies decide which tasks should be restarted to recover the job.
