Hi all,

Currently 
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/ops/state/checkpoints.html#difference-to-savepoints
 
<https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/ops/state/checkpoints.html#difference-to-savepoints>
 says checkpoints…

"do not support Flink specific features like rescaling"

But I believe they do, and really must if you can use them like a savepoint. 
Should that sentence be changed, or removed?

Also this page doesn’t talk about state migration, which is another aspect of 
restarting a (modified) workflow from a retained checkpoint…will that work?

This sentence about checkpoints on 
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/ops/state/savepoints.html#what-is-a-savepoint-how-is-a-savepoint-different-from-a-checkpoint
 
<https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/ops/state/savepoints.html#what-is-a-savepoint-how-is-a-savepoint-different-from-a-checkpoint>
 implies not:

"Optimizations towards those goals can exploit certain properties, e.g. that 
the job code doesn’t change between the execution attempts"

Thanks,

— Ken
