---------------------------------
Summary: Introduce a friendly way to resume the job from
externalized checkpoints automatically
Key: FLINK-9260
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9260
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Client
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Sihua Zhou
Assignee: Sihua Zhou
Fix For: 1.6.0
Currently, it's quite a bit not friendly for users to recover job from the
externalized checkpoint, user need to find the dedicate dir for the job which
is not a easy thing when there are too many jobs. This ticket attend to
introduce a more friendly way to allow the user to use the externalized
checkpoint to do recovery.
The implementation steps are copied from the comments of [~StephanEwen] in
[9043|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9043]
- We could make this an option where you pass a flag (-r) to automatically look
for the latest checkpoint in a given directory.
- If more than one jobs checkpointed there before, this operation would fail.
- We might also need a way to have jobs not create the UUID subdirectory,
otherwise the scanning for the latest checkpoint would not easily work.
