Hello Team, This thread is to discuss the Named Checkpoint feature for Apex. ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-498)
Named checkpoints allow following workflow, 1. Users can trigger a checkpoint and give it a name 2. Relaunch the application from the named checkpoint. 3. These checkpoints survive the "purge of old checkpoints". Current idea is to add a new control tuple, NamedCheckPointTuple, which contains the user specified name, it traverses the DAG and along the way necessary actions are taken. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks
