If we did not have the unconditional initialization logic, we should also
be able to drop this part. That would also make this work with the flip-6 code.
> Support MasterTriggerRestoreHook state reinitialization
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-8533
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8533
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Eron Wright
> Assignee: Eron Wright
> Priority: Major
>
> {{MasterTriggerRestoreHook}} enables coordination with an external system for
> taking or restoring checkpoints. When execution is restarted from a
> checkpoint, {{restoreCheckpoint}} is called to restore or reinitialize the
> external system state. There's an edge case where the external state is not
> adequately reinitialized, that is when execution fails _before the first
> checkpoint_. In that case, the hook is not invoked and has no opportunity to
> restore the external state to initial conditions.
> The impact is a loss of exactly-once semantics in this case. For example, in
> the Pravega source function, the reader group state (e.g. stream position
> data) is stored externally. In the normal restore case, the reader group
> state is forcibly rewound to the checkpointed position. In the edge case
> where no checkpoint has yet been successful, the reader group state is not
> rewound and consequently some amount of stream data is not reprocessed.
> A possible fix would be to introduce an {{initializeState}} method on the
> hook interface. Similar to {{CheckpointedFunction::initializeState}}, this
> method would be invoked unconditionally upon hook initialization. The Pravega
> hook would, for example, initialize or forcibly reinitialize the reader group
> state.
