Is incremental checkpointing append-only (forever growing) on s3?

[Vararu, Vadim via user]

Hi,

I have a large state (currently ~300GB). I’ve enabled the incremental 
checkpointing and it looks good.

However, I don’t think that deletions in the state will reflect in deletions in 
s3. In this case it will upload more data to s3 when something is added to the 
state and won’t delete data on s3 when something is delete from the state.

Is my understanding correct? Is s3 checkpointing storage forever growing?

Thanks,
Vadim.
