Thank you so much for your reply. I apologise I did not mention multiple savepoint files in my last question. I understand the part. I did not ask the question (only for one savepoint file) exactly. When we run a job, we have obviously many savepoint files (by using a manual command repeatedly)

Abdullah, The example you are studying -- the one using the state processor API -- can be used with any retained checkpoint or savepoint created while running the RidesAndFaresSolution job. But this is a very special use of checkpoints and savepoints that shows how to extract data from them. Norm

Abdullah, ReadRidesAndFaresSnapshot [1] is an example that shows how to use the State Processor API to display the contents of a snapshot taken while running RidesAndFaresSolution [2]. Hopefully that will help you get started. [1] https://github.com/ververica/flink-training/blob/master/state-pro

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I want to read the previous snapshot (if needed) at the time of operation. In [1], there is a portion: DataSet listState = savepoint.readListState<>( "my-uid", "list-state", Types.INT); here, will the function savepoint.readliststate<> () work to read

What is it you're trying to achieve in general? The JavaDoc of MetadataV2V3SerializerBase provides a description on the format of the file. Theoretically, you could come up with custom code using the Flink sources to parse the content of the file. But maybe, there's another way to accomplish what y

Hi, I have a savepoint or checkpointed file from my task. However, the file is binary. I want to see what the file contains. How is it possible to see what information the file has (or how it is possible to make it human readable?) Thank you On Thu, Apr 22, 2021 at 10:19 AM Matthias Pohl wrote
