> Key: FLINK-20427
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20427
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API / DataStream, Runtime / Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.12.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: stale-critical
> Fix For: 1.14.0
>
>
> The {{CheckpointConfig.setPreferCheckpointForRecovery}} allows to configure
> whether Flink prefers checkpoints for recovery if the
> {{CompletedCheckpointStore}} contains savepoints and checkpoints. This is
> problematic because due to this feature, Flink might prefer older checkpoints
> over newer savepoints for recovery. Since some components expect that the
> always the latest checkpoint/savepoint is used (e.g. the
> {{SourceCoordinator}}), it breaks assumptions and can lead to
> {{SourceSplits}} which are not read. This effectively means that the system
> loses data. Similarly, this behaviour can cause that exactly once sinks might
> output results multiple times which violates the processing guarantees.
> Hence, I believe that we should remove this setting because it changes
> Flink's behaviour in some very significant way potentially w/o the user
> noticing.
