Hi Fritz, the FSStateBackend is a lot faster than the RocksDBStateBackend. I don't know exact numbers but if I remember correctly somebody mentioned a 10x difference.
Delta checkpointing is only supported by RocksDB since Flink 1.3. Given that the FSStateBackend is only suitable for small states, this should not be significant limitation.
