Hi Cristian,
>From this code , we could see that the Exception or Error was ignored in dispatcher.shutDownCluster(applicationStatus) . `` org.apache.flink.runtime.dispatcher.DispatcherGateway#shutDownCluster return applicationCompletionFuture .handle((r, t) -> { final ApplicationStatus applicationStatus; if (t != null) { final Optional<JobCancellationException> cancellationException = ExceptionUtils.findThrowable(t, JobCancellationException.class); if (cancellationException.isPresent()) { // this means the Flink Job was cancelled applicationStatus = ApplicationStatus.CANCELED; } else if (t instanceof CancellationException) { // this means that the future was cancelled applicationStatus = ApplicationStatus.UNKNOWN; } else { applicationStatus = ApplicationStatus.FAILED; } LOG.warn("Application {}: ", applicationStatus, t); } else { applicationStatus = ApplicationStatus.SUCCEEDED; LOG.info("Application completed SUCCESSFULLY"); } return dispatcher.shutDownCluster(applicationStatus); }) .thenCompose(Function.identity()); `` So when it come to java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture#whenComplete , there is no throwable, only ApplicationStatus.FAILED , and data was cleaned up. `` clusterComponent.getShutDownFuture().whenComplete( (ApplicationStatus applicationStatus, Throwable throwable) -> { if (throwable != null) { shutDownAsync( ApplicationStatus.UNKNOWN, ExceptionUtils.stringifyException(throwable), false); } else { // This is the general shutdown path. If a separate more specific shutdown was // already triggered, this will do nothing shutDownAsync( applicationStatus, null, true); } }); } `` If you want to save your checkPoint,you could refer to this document: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.11/ops/state/checkpoints.html In another way,you could change the code in org.apache.flink.runtime.dispatcher.DispatcherGateway#shutDownCluster,when it came to faied,save the data. In fact, I'm wondering why it ignore the Throwable,default to delete Ha Data in any solution. Is there anyone could help me to solve this question?
