Hi peeps, I am externalizing checkpoints in S3 for my flink job and I retain them on cancellation. However when I look into my S3 bucket where the checkpoints are stored there is only 1 checkpoint at any point in time . Is this the default behavior of flink where older checkpoints are deleted when the current checkpoint completes ? Here are a few screenshots. What are your thoughts on restoring an older state which is not the previous state ?
