Hi Igor,
In my understanding, checkpoints are managed by the system (Flink decides
when to create and delete them), while savepoints are managed by the user
(they decide when to create and delete them).
Indeed, only checkpoints can be incremental (if that feature is enabled).

Hey Robert,
Thanks for the answer! But then I guess the only difference between
savepoints and checkpoints is that checkpoints are structurally state
dependent and can be incremental, but otherwise they are functionally
equivalent. So functionally savepoint can be considered a full checkpoint
which
Hey Igor,
1) yes, reactive mode indeed does the same.
2) No, HA mode is only storing some metadata in ZK about the leadership and
latest checkpoints, but the checkpoints itself are the same. They should be
usable for a changed job graph (if the state matches the operators by
setting the UUIDs [1]
Hello,
I got confused about usage of savepoints and checkpoints in different
scenarios.
I understand that checkpoints' main purpose is fault tolerance, they are
more lightweight and don't support changing job graph, parallelism or state
backend when restoring from them, as mentioned in the latest 1
