             Summary: Job resume from history savepoint when failover if 
checkpoint is disabled
                 Key: FLINK-20872
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20872
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.12.0, 1.11.0
            Reporter: Liu


I have a long running job. Its checkpoint is disabled and restartStrategy is 
set.  One time I upgrade the job through savepoint. One day later, the job is 
failed and restart automatically. But it is resumed from the previous savepoint 
so that the job is heavily lagged.

 

I have checked the code and find that the job will first try to resume from 
checkpoint and then savepoint.
{code:java}
if (checkpointCoordinator != null) {
    // check whether we find a valid checkpoint
    if (!checkpointCoordinator.restoreInitialCheckpointIfPresent(
            new HashSet<>(newExecutionGraph.getAllVertices().values()))) {

        // check whether we can restore from a savepoint
        tryRestoreExecutionGraphFromSavepoint(
                newExecutionGraph, jobGraph.getSavepointRestoreSettings());
    }
}
{code}
For job which checkpoint is disabled, internal failover should not resume from 
previous savepoint, especially the savepoint is done long long ago. In this 
situation, state loss is acceptable but lag is not acceptable.
