Yun Tang commented on FLINK-17808:
----------------------------------
Since [~zuston] had already provided a PR to review, already assigned this
ticket to him.
Please refactor the PR:
1. Consider file systems which not support recoverable writer.
2. Resolve all failed tests of current PR.
3. Add a separate test to verify the logic.
> Rename checkpoint meta file to "_metadata" until it has completed writing

> 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.
