-----------------------------------
Summary: Fix docs stating that savepoints are relocatable
Key: FLINK-15863
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15863
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 1.9.2, 1.10.0
Reporter: Nico Kruber
This section from
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/ops/upgrading.html#preconditions
states that savepoints are relocatable which they are not yet (see
FLINK-5763). It should be fixed and/or removed; I'm unsure what change from 1.3
it should actually reflect.
{quote}Another important precondition is that for savepoints taken before Flink
1.3.x, all the savepoint data must be accessible from the new installation and
reside under the same absolute path. Before Flink 1.3.x, the savepoint data is
typically not self-contained in just the created savepoint file. Additional
files can be referenced from inside the savepoint file (e.g. the output from
state backend snapshots). Since Flink 1.3.x, this is no longer a limitation;
savepoints can be relocated using typical filesystem operations..{quote}
