Stefan Richter commented on FLINK-8871:
---------------------------------------
[~sihuazhou] Given the release plan, this will unfortunately not make it into
1.5 anyways and therefore I did not start working on this issue for now.
Nevertheless, I would still like to work on this myself after the release and
also want to wait for some feedback and discussion with other people that
implemented this before, but thanks your offer.

> Key: FLINK-8871
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8871
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.3.2, 1.5.0, 1.4.1
> Reporter: Stefan Richter
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
>
> Flink currently lacks any form of feedback mechanism from the job manager /
> checkpoint coordinator to the tasks when it comes to failing a checkpoint.
> This means that running snapshots on the tasks are also not stopped even if
> their owning checkpoint is already cancelled. Two examples for cases where
> this applies are checkpoint timeouts and local checkpoint failures on a task
> together with a configuration that does not fail tasks on checkpoint failure.
> Notice that those running snapshots do no longer account for the maximum
> number of parallel checkpoints, because their owning checkpoint is considered
> as cancelled.
> Not stopping the task's snapshot thread can lead to a problematic situation
> where the next checkpoints already started, while the abandoned checkpoint
> thread from a previous checkpoint is still lingering around running. This
> scenario can potentially cascade: many parallel checkpoints will slow down
> checkpointing and make timeouts even more likely.
>
> A possible solution is introducing a {{cancelCheckpoint}} method as
> counterpart to the {{triggerCheckpoint}} method in the task manager gateway,
> which is invoked by the checkpoint coordinator as part of cancelling the
> checkpoint.
