> discard checkpoints if the checkpoint metadata wasn't written to the
> backend.
> This does not cover the cases where the data was actually written to the
> backend but the call failed anyway (e.g. due to network issues). In such a
> case, we might end up having a pointer in the backend pointing to a
> checkpoint that was discarded.
> Instead of discarding the checkpoint data in this case, we might want to keep
> it for this specific use case. Otherwise, we might run into Exceptions when
> recovering from the Checkpoint later on. We might want to add a warning to
> the user pointing to the possibly orphaned checkpoint data.
