/**
* This option specifies the failover strategy, i.e. how the job
computation recovers from task failures.
+ * The option "individual" and "region-legacy" are intentionally not
included
+ * as they have some known limitations or issues.
+ * "individual" strategy only works when all tasks are not connected,
in which case the "region"
+ * failover strategy would also restart failed tasks individually.
+ * "region-legacy" strategy is not able to backtrack missing input
result partitions.
+ * The new "region" strategy supersedes "individual" and
"region-legacy" strategies and should always work.

Review comment:
Maybe we can omit some details here, and place a hyperlink to the *Task
Failure Recovery* page using `LinkElement`. WDYT?
