Hi Flink Community! A quick heads-up: We suggest removing the setting "CheckpointConfig.setPreferCheckpointForRecovery()" [1].
The setting has been deprecated since Flink 1.12 and is strongly discouraged, because it can lead to data loss or data duplication in different scenarios. Please see also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20427 for background. Are there any concerns about deprecating this issue? Is anyone relying on this setting right now? For a long-term solution to ensuring that there is no slow recovery from savepoints: Some committers (me included) are working on a proposal to support more efficient savepoints and to ensure that intermediate savepoints don't interfere with side effects. Then we can always exclude them from recovery without risk of data loss or duplication. Best, Stephan [1] https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-streaming-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/api/environment/CheckpointConfig.java#L493
