Hi Jamie,

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah i looked at save points, i want to start my job only from the last
checkpoint, this means I have to keep track of when the checkpoint was
taken and the trigger a save point. I am not sure this is the way to go. My
state backend is HDFS and I can see that the checkpoint path has the data
that has been buffered in the window.

I want to start the job in a way such that it will read the checkpointed
data before the failure and continue processing.

I realise that the checkpoints are used whenever there is a container
failure, and a new container is obtained. In my case the job failed because
a container failed for the maximum AllowedN umber of failures

Thanks,
Prabhu
