Aljoscha Krettek updated FLINK-6505:
------------------------------------
Priority: Blocker (was: Major)
> Proactively cleanup local FS for RocksDBKeyedStateBackend on startup
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-6505
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6505
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Stefan Richter
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> In {{RocksDBKeyedStateBackend}}, the {{instanceBasePath}} is cleared on
> {{dispose()}}. I think it might make sense to also clear this directory when
> the backend is created, in case something crashed and the backend never
> reached {{dispose()}}. At least for previous runs of the same job, we can
> know what to delete on restart.
> In general, it is very important for this backend to clean up the local FS,
> because the local quota might be very limited compared to the DFS. And a node
> that runs out of local disk space can bring down the whole job, with no way
> to recover (it might always get rescheduled to that node).
