Hi all,

I am using the filesystem state backend with checkpointing to S3.
From the JobManager logs, I can see that it works most of the time, e.g.,

2016-07-26 17:49:07,311 INFO  
org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator     - Triggering 
checkpoint 3 @ 1469555347310
2016-07-26 17:49:11,128 INFO  
org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator     - Completed 
checkpoint 3 (in 3335 ms)

However, taking the checkpoint fails with the
following exception from time to time:

2016-07-26 17:50:07,310 INFO  
org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator     - Triggering

All logs are from the machine running the JobManager.

The status code suggests that this is a problem with permissions.
However, I can see checkpoints stored correctly in the configured
S3 bucket. Also, sometimes old checkpoints are not removed. Does anybody
here experience the same problems? Can it be that S3 is flaky?

Find below my configuration:

Flink 1.0.3

libs/
  aws-java-sdk-1.7.4.jar
  hadoop-aws-2.7.2.jar
  httpclient-4.2.5.jar
  httpcore-4.2.5.jar
