Thanks for going through the general design @StephanEwen ! As we discussed,
I agree with your first point. For the second point about RocksDB, this PR
already contains an optimized way to deal with incremental local checkpoints
that we did not discuss in our review, because I thought it is too much of a
low level detail.
It does not work with duplicating streams. Instead, I introduced a state
handle type for a local directory. In fact, I mapped the previous incremental
recovery from DFS state also to this new handle type: dfs state is first
downloaded and then it also simply becomes a local directory state handle. From
there, both incremental recovery paths are identical.
