Thanks for taking a look, Stephan.
Regarding your question: *Would we interfere with such a setup when
removing checkpoints on "suspend" in "standalone" mode?*:
Yes, we would interfere, but what you describe is currently **not**
possible with Flink (that is no one can run it like that). The problem is that
recovery on the master is tightly coupled to ZooKeeper (configured via
`recovery.mode: ZOOKEEPER`). I really like your idea and agree that it should
be possible to run an HA setup like that. I will open an issue for it. Do you
think it's important to fix this for 1.1 already?
Regarding the name *standalone*:
I fully agree. We have a standalone cluster mode and standalone recovery
mode. Our standalone recovery mode (`recovery.mode: STANDALONE`) actually means
`NO_RECOVERY`. I think that's what also made you assume that what you describe
is possible, right?
