Thanks Qiu but David has different view from stackoverflow. He mentioned the Crashed TM must be recovered.

Of course that lost state should be recreated as the job rewinds and resumes." Hi, Siew Wai Yow When the job is running, the states are stored in the local RocksDB, Flink will copy all the needed states to checkpointPath when doing a Checkpoint. If there have any failures, the job will be restored from the last previously *Successfully* checkpoint, and assign the restored states to all the current TM (These TMs do not need to be the same as before) . Siew Wai Yow <wai_...@hotmail.com<mailto:wai_...@hotmail.com>> 于2019年1月12日周六 上午11:24写道： Thanks. But this is something I know. I would like to know will the other TM take over the crashed TM's state to ensure data completion(say the state BYKEY, different key state will be stored in different TM) OR the crashed TM need to be recovered to continue? For example, 5 records, rec1:KEYA rec2:KEYB rec3:KEYA rec4:KEYC rec5:KEYB TM1 stored state for rec1:KEYA, rec3:KEYA TM2 stored state for rec2:KEYB, rec5:KEYB <--crashed, what happen to those state stored inTM2 TM3 stored state for rec4:KEYC In case TM2 crashed, rec2 and rec5 will be assigned to other TM? Or those record only recover when TM2 being recover? Thanks. ________________________________ From: Jamie Grier <jgr...@lyft.com<mailto:jgr...@lyft.com>> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2019 2:26 AM To: Siew Wai Yow Cc: user@flink.apache.org<mailto:user@flink.apache.org> Subject: Re: What happen to state in Flink Task Manager when crash? Flink is designed such that local state is backed up to a highly available system such as HDFS or S3. When a TaskManager fails state is recovered from there. I suggest reading this: <https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.7/ops/state/state_backends.html> https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.7/ops/state/state_backends.html On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 7:33 AM Siew Wai Yow <wai_...@hotmail.com<mailto:wai_...@hotmail.com>> wrote: Hello, May i know what happen to state stored in Flink Task Manager when this Task manager crash. Say the state storage is rocksdb, would those data transfer to other running Task Manager so that complete state data is ready for data processing? Regards, Yow -- Best, Congxian
