----------------------------------
[~till.rohrmann] We meet an issue about savepoint just now but is not about
recovery. We configurated allow the checkpoint to retain, and let the max
number of the checkpoint to retain equals 1. If we cancel job with savepoint,
then there is no one checkpoint in the HDFS, because the savepoint is stored in
completed checkpoint store, and the finished savepoint triggered the prior
completed checkpoint been discarded. I think this behavior is not expected
unless the user is familiar with the source code. Actually, we thought it is a
bug before watching the source code.
What do you think? [~StephanEwen]
It seems the savepoint is stored in completed checkpoint store caused many
problems no matter snapshotting or recovery.

> Key: FLINK-11159
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11159
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.5.5, 1.6.2, 1.7.0
> Reporter: Nico Kruber
> Assignee: vinoyang
> Priority: Major
>
> Ever since FLINK-3397, upon failure, Flink would restart from the latest
> checkpoint/savepoint which ever is more recent. With the introduction of
> local recovery and the knowledge that a RocksDB checkpoint restore would just
> copy the files, it may be time to re-consider / making this configurable:
> In certain situations, it may be faster to restore from the latest checkpoint
> only (even if there is a more recent savepoint) and reprocess the data
> between. On the downside, though, that may not be correct because that might
> break side effects if the savepoint was the latest one, e.g. consider this
> chain: {{chk1 -> chk2 -> sp … restore chk2 -> …}}. Then all side effects
> between {{chk2 -> sp}} would be reproduced.
> Making this configurable will allow the user to set whatever he needs / can
> to get the lowest recovery time in Flink.
