---------------------------------------
[~yunta] Let me know your thinking :)
> Rename checkpoint meta file to "_metadata" until it has completed writing

> Key: FLINK-17808
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17808
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0
> Reporter: Yun Tang
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.14.0
>
>
> In practice, some developers or customers would use some strategy to find the
> recent _metadata as the checkpoint to recover (e.g as many proposals in
> FLINK-9043 suggest). However, there existed a "_meatadata" file does not mean
> the checkpoint have been completed as the writing to create the "_meatadata"
> file could break as some force quit (e.g. yarn application -kill).
> We could create the checkpoint meta stream to write data to file named as
> "_metadata.inprogress" and renamed it to "_metadata" once completed writing.
> By doing so, we could ensure the "_metadata" is not broken.
