Zakelly Lan commented on FLINK-33897: ------------------------------------- {quote}By real world motivation, I meant if that really is an issue that someone complained about? {quote} The reason behind this is some of our customers start their job with default configuration and find out a back-pressure and checkpoint failures last for a while. They reached out to me to ask if there is some way that can eliminate the back-pressure without introducing much more delay or pouring much duplicated data into sink (not exactly-once). What they complain is they must suffer first to restart the job. > Allow triggering unaligned checkpoint via CLI > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-33897 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-33897 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Command Line Client, Runtime / Checkpointing > Reporter: Zakelly Lan > Assignee: Zakelly Lan > Priority: Major > > After FLINK-6755, user could trigger checkpoint through CLI. However I > noticed there would be value supporting trigger it in unaligned way, since > the job may encounter a high back-pressure and an aligned checkpoint would > fail. > > I suggest we provide an option '-unaligned' in CLI to support that. > > Similar option would also be useful for REST api -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
