Users don’t need to explicitly make a copy of the state. Take checkpointing
instance fields as operator state for example [1].
You simply return your current state in `snapshotState()`, and Flink will take
care of snapshotting and persisting it to the state backend.
The persisting process does no
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
So do you mean when we are about to checkpoint the state of an operator, we
first copy its state and then checkpoint the copied state while the operator
continues processing?
Thanks,

Hi!
No, the operator does not need to pause processing input records while the
checkpointing of its state is in progress.
The checkpointing of operator state is asynchronous. The operator state does
not need to be immutable, since its a copy of the snapshot state that’s
checkpointed.

Hi All,
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
