Gyula Fora commented on FLINK-3397:
-----------------------------------
You are always free to give it a shot, to be honest I am not perfectly sure
wether other people are working in this direction. Maybe [~uce] can help me out
here as he knows well what's going on with savepoints...
> Failed streaming jobs should fall back to the most recent checkpoint/savepoint
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-3397
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3397
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Gyula Fora
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current fallback behaviour in case of a streaming job failure is slightly
> counterintuitive:
> If a job fails it will fall back to the most recent checkpoint (if any) even
> if there were more recent savepoint taken. This means that savepoints are not
> regarded as checkpoints by the system only points from where a job can be
> manually restarted.
> I suggest to change this so that savepoints are also regarded as checkpoints
> in case of a failure and they will also be used to automatically restore the
> streaming job.
