Hi Laxmi, Did you consider Apache Flink Table Store [1] which was introduced short time ago. Yours sounds like a case for early integration …

Thank you.

One problem with the current queryable state setup is that the service is bounded to the life cycle of Flink Job, which limits the usage of the state store/service. Thanks for your insights.

Thank you. On Wed, Jun 29, 2022 at 11:17 AM Hangxiang Yu <master...@gmail.com<mailto:master...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi, laxmi. There are two ways that users can access the state store currently: 1. Queryable state [1] which you could access states in runtime. 2. State Processor API [2] which you could access states (snapshot) offline. But we have marked the Queryable state as "Reaching End-of-Life". We are also trying to find a graceful and effective way for users to debug and troubleshoot. So could you share your case about what you want to use it for ? Your feedback is important for us to design it in the long term. Thanks!

I have come across a version where we can use Job_Id to connect to the state, but is there any other way to expose a specific rest-endpoint etc ? Any sample example/github link would be nice.
