    I think we would like to enable it by default and leave this config option 
just as a safety net in case of bugs/problems.
    
    btw, shouldn't this be tightly coupled with a credit based flow switch?

>            Priority: Major
>
> Currently in exactly-once mode, the {{BarrierBuffer}} would block inputs with 
> barriers until all inputs have received the barrier for a given checkpoint. 
> To avoid back-pressuring the input streams which may cause distributed 
> deadlocks, the {{BarrierBuffer}} has to spill the data in disk files to 
> recycle the buffers for blocked channels.
>  
> Based on credit-based flow control, every channel has exclusive buffers, so 
> it is no need to spill data for avoiding deadlock. Then we implement a new 
> {{CheckpointBarrierHandler}} for only buffering the data for blocked channels 
> for better performance.
>  
> And this new {{CheckpointBarrierHandler}} can also be configured to use or 
> not in order to rollback the original mode for unexpected risks.
