Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-10074:
---------------------------------------
I like the idea of having a maximum time between successful checkpoints.
However, a time constraint might be difficult to configure for a user since the
actual checkpoint interval could be larger than the configured checkpoint
interval if the user also specified the minimum time between checkpoints > 0.
So I'm wondering whether number of allowed checkpoint failures would be easier
to understand. What do you think?

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
> Reporter: Thomas Weise
> Assignee: vinoyang
> Priority: Major
>
> For intermittent checkpoint failures it is desirable to have a mechanism to
> avoid restarts. If, for example, a transient S3 error prevents checkpoint
> completion, the next checkpoint may very well succeed. The user may wish to
> not incur the expense of restart under such scenario and this could be
> expressed with a failure threshold (number of subsequent checkpoint
> failures), possibly combined with a list of exceptions to tolerate.
