Gyula Fora commented on FLINK-3397: ----------------------------------- You are always free to give it a shot, to be honest I am not perfectly sure wether other people are working in this direction. Maybe [~uce] can help me out here as he knows well what's going on with savepoints... > Failed streaming jobs should fall back to the most recent checkpoint/savepoint > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-3397 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3397 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Streaming > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Gyula Fora > Priority: Minor > > The current fallback behaviour in case of a streaming job failure is slightly > counterintuitive: > If a job fails it will fall back to the most recent checkpoint (if any) even > if there were more recent savepoint taken. This means that savepoints are not > regarded as checkpoints by the system only points from where a job can be > manually restarted. > I suggest to change this so that savepoints are also regarded as checkpoints > in case of a failure and they will also be used to automatically restore the > streaming job. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
