+1 for the FLIP.
I like the described changes and new functionality.
When looking at the public interface, I was wondering whether we should not
allow the user to specify a TimeUnit for the periodic interval. I think
it's nicer to be able to specify the time unit instead of converting
everything
+1 A great proposal.
I'd like to suggest one change. In one paragraph you say "If no savepoint
path is configured, fail the savepoint.". I think this is
problematic because it means that users who forgot to add the setting to
the config will be at a dead if they want to update. Can we make it work
Hi Ufuk,
Great initiative in general I agree with pretty much everything in the
proposal.
Some minor comments:
With these changes savepoints and checkpoints become pretty much the same
thing so we might as well drop one of the concepts and just refer to
checkpoints as savepoints that are discarde
Hey devs! I've created a FLIP to unify savepoints and checkpoints:

Looking forward to your feedback.
