Hello, I am trying to use Flink HA mode inside kubernetes <https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/deployment/ha/kubernetes_ha/> in standalone <https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/deployment/resource-providers/standalone/overview/#application-mode> mode. The Job ID is always constant, "00000000000000000000000000000000". In situation where we restart the job (Not from a check-point or savepoint), we see errors like """
Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileAlreadyExistsException: '<PATH>/flink-checkpoints/00000000000000000000000000000000/chk-1/_metadata' already exists """ where checkpoints have not been created since the restart of Job . My question: * Is the recommended way to set a new unique "checkpoint path" every time we update Job and restart necessary k8 resources (say not restarted from checkpoint-savepoint)? Or GC checkpoints during deletion and reload from savepoint if required? Looking for a standard recommendation. * Is there a way I can override the JobID to be unique and indicate it is a complete restart in HA mode? Thanks, Harsh
