[FLINK-8599] Improve the failure behavior of the FileInputFormat for â¦
## What is the purpose of the change
This pull request is intent to improve the failure behavior of the
ContinuousFileReader, currently if a bad file (for example, a different schema
been dropped in this folder) came to the path and flink will do several retries.
However, since the file path persist in the checkpoint, when people tried
to resume from external checkpoint, it threw the following error on no file
been found and the process cannot move forward.
`java.io.IOException: Error opening the Input Split s3a://myfile [0,904]:
No such file or directory: s3a://myfile`
The change is to check if the path exist before open the file, if error
occurs and bad file removed, flink should resume the process and continue.
## Brief change log
- *Add a file exist check before open the file *
## Verifying this change
- *Manually verified the change by introduce a bad file while continuously
monitoring the folder, after remove the bad file, the process continued.*
