Hi All, I tried testing fault tolerance in a different way(not sure if it as appropriate way) of my running flink application. I ran the flink application on YARN and after completing few checkpoints, killed the YARN application using:
yarn application -kill application_1476277440022_xxxx Further, tried restarting the application by providing the same path of the checkpointing directory. The application started afresh and did not resume from the last check-pointed state. Just wanted to make sure if fault tolerance in this usecase is valid or not. If yes, what am I doing wrong? I'm aware of the savepoint process- to create savepoint, stop the application and resume new application from the same savepoint but wished to check the above usecase considering the fact that for some reason if the YARN application gets killed perhaps accidentally or due to any other reason, is this kind of fault tolerance supported or not. Regards, Anchit
