vinoyang commented on FLINK-13692: ---------------------------------- [~till.rohrmann] I'd like to finish this issue. > Make CompletedCheckpointStore backwards compatible? > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-13692 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-13692 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Runtime / Checkpointing > Affects Versions: 1.9.0, 1.10.0 > Reporter: Till Rohrmann > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.10.0, 1.9.1 > > > With FLINK-11159 we changed the signature of > {{CompletedCheckpointStore#getLatestCheckpoint}} from > {{getLatestCheckpoint()}} to {{getLatestCheckpoint(boolean)}}. This is an API > breaking change which causes users of this interface having to adapt their > implementation and recompile it. Since {{CompletedCheckpointStore}} is no > public API, this change is technically ok, but not so nice. > If we decide to provide backwards compatibility, then we should still keep > {{getLatestCheckpoint()}} and add a deprecation annotation to it. At least, > we should update the JavaDocs of the > {{CompletedCheckpointStore#getLatestCheckpoint}} method to reflect what the > passed parameter states. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
